Not a Hunting Knife

[G L Drew]

My family has been after me to make something other than hunting knives. (Hey, a red neck does what he has to do) I made up this stiletto to show them it could be done.

1/8 inch ATS34 heat treated to Rc 58-60
Hollow ground
False edge on top
Mirror finish
cocobolo with brass fittings and black valconized spacer
Overall length: 10 1/2 inches
Blade: 5 1/2 inches

$190 _____SOLD_____delivered to the US or Canada. Paypal or money order accepted. (If you want to send a personal check; let's talk.)

Be aware that there are two small worm holes in the wood. It gives a light spalted look to the top of the handle.

Nice work! I love those long, thin blades.

Looks good Gerry. I would say that it was fun to grind out of 1/8 stock.......Huh.........

I like the look of the handle and it's shaping. Good looking handle with the mid brass and looks comfortable to grip :thumbup:

Call that a North Carolina Toothpick!

Thanks for the comments guys. This knife sat on the coffee table for a week before I had nerve enough to post it.

Yeah Mike, it was a little nervous to grind. I just knew I was going to grind that skinny handle into the hidden tang.

Nice pieces, and they look to be very capable 'using knives' aswell. Nice leather work. It would complement anyones belt.

Gerry- Great looking blade and knife! Glad it sold. Looks like your heat-treater is doing good.

The picture in Blade was kind of a surprise to me. I wrote an article (at thier request) about two years ago and submitted it with the photos done by Terrill Hoffman. It never got printed and I forgot all about it. They must have filed it and used a small portion of my verbage for this month's magazine. I am busy Eddie, but why is it I'm not rich?
