(Pictures taken from North River Knives)
I purchased this knife with the intention of giving it as a gift for Father's day. Unfortunately, the Canadian Postal Service shut services down the day after it was mailed (labor disputes), and it sat in Canada until this week. Suffice it to say, that it did not arrive on time for Father's Day, so I ended up buying a different gift.
This knife arrived just two days ago (from this posting). It is brand new as received from the maker. I am selling it for what I bought it for.
Here are the specs taken from North River Knives:
Hand-forged-knife. Frontier Pistol Grip Belt Knife.
Blade Steel: 1095 high carbon steel, tempered to a Rockwell 59-60
Construction: Full tang
Dimensions: Blade 4 1/2" - Handle 4 1/2" - Overall 9" - Width 1 3/8" - Thickness 1/8"
Scales: Hickory, secured with three iron pins.
Sheath: Hand stitched 6-7 oz. Veg tan leather with welt. Partial wrap of buffalo hide and line work.
Finish: Period correct aged finish with hammer marks.
Special Features: File work on spine of blade. Rawhide wrap and a double cord ferrule.
This knife is stamped with my makers mark NR and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Hand-made in the traditions of long ago. A great period style knife. Hand-forged for those tough jobs on the frontier. Very sharp.
I bought this knife for: $180.00 plus shipping.....I need shop money, so I am listing this knife for ***$110 plus shipping*** This is the lowest I will go on this knife. I don't expect it to last long at this price.
