This knife is made by Paul LeBatard of Mississippi.
It is 11.25" OAL,has a 6.5" blade (tip to handle),of ATS-34 SS.It his a high satin polish,and a little flex to the tip,hollow ground The stock is just a bit thinner than 3/32,I beleive
Condition is used,but really pretty decent.One side of the blade has very light linear scratches from a scotch brite pad.This was used in the kitchen mostly It has been lightly stropped on a diamond rod ,it is pretty sharp
Paul could buff this like new & I can provide his contact info,if you wanted this knife but that detail bothered you.He is a really nice guy,as is most custom knifemakers I've met are.
Contoured handle of black/green/pistaccio G-10 brass pins & lanyard tube RH leather belt sheath from maker,fits snug,and both knife & sheath are marked & numbered a classy functional custom fillet that served me well,a nice slicer,I have others incoming that are going to replace it
A nice find here today for $160 delivered Con US Paypal add fee,M.O.,too
These were taken w/ it was newer,shows handle contour & color,back of sheath
These were taken today & outdoor lighting shows a bit darker,also the light linear scratches on one side of the blade do not show & I could not get them,but they are not bad at all
