Patch Knife in A2 and Elk Tine

[John Cahoon]

Hey there everybody! Today I have one of my interpretations of a patch knife ready to go. Hope you like it!

Steel is 3/32 thick x 1 1/4” tall in A2 Tool Steel. HT at 60/61. Hand sanded to 600 grit for a satin finish. The edge was under .010” before sharpening and it balances on the second spacer.

Dimensions: 10” OAL, Tip to guard is 4” and cutting edge is 3 1/2”.

I would be happy to trim off the extended elk tine tip by about 2” if anyone wants it done. I was thinking about doing it but thought maybe some would appreciate the whole length so I left it alone.

Brass bolster, leather and elk make up the handle, accented with red G10 spacers and a brass pin.

$145 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. Paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.

Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.

Thanks a bunch J jfk1110 and cbach8tw , I use a lot of elk so I have tines galore and have to use them up somehow. I've seen a number of these out there on the larger web. Made a few a couple of years back and they went pretty fast.
