I had Bill make this knife for me a while back, he said it reminded him of a Nessmuk and I tend to agree.
My original intent was to make a beefy leaf blade knife that had all steel handles (no scales). When I got the knife from Bill it was awesome and just as ordered, but the big all steel handle made it a little slick to hold, so I added Desert G-10 scales held on with epoxy & 5 brass pins. I also made a sheath for it.
In the process of making scales I had to cover Bills makers mark, but I can assure you it's under there.
Spec's:
Desert G-10 Scales w/brass pins
Scotch Brite finished
3/16" thick stock, 154 CM blade, full tang
Grooves on spine for thumb traction
Just over 4.5" tip to scales, 9.75" OAL
Full flat grind that tapers towards the tip
I made a belt sheath from very heavy 10/12 oz veg tanned leather with a nylon strap. The knife fits like a glove and is very secure. The sheath is also water proofed with several coats of silicon treatment.
This is a beefy knife with a nice handle that can be choked up on for detail work, and also grips nicely from the butt for chopping or battoning.
Price is only SOLD!
