My latest acquisitions.
Made by Peter Del Raso, an Aussie maker in Victoria. The fit and finish really is top shelf, I could not be happier with them.
I could not wait to show these off so here are Peter's photo's for now. To be honest, not even his pictures convey how good these knives are.
Knife #1
011...Fighter
Blade is 1/4" CPM154 @ 59 RC, 600gt hand satin finish, full tapered tang. Handle scales are black linen micarta in two tone finish with polished bolster area, the rest is sand blasted.
It has contrasting red liners and signature mosaic pin that he has been using for 16 years.
Comes with a Loveless style sheath (black Buffalo leather)
Saber ground blade OAL length 10 6/8", blade 5 7/8". Double hollow ground, bottom edge only sharpened.
Its the bottom one in this picture.
another shot
Knife #2
Medium fighter... OAL 11 1/2", blade 6 1/4". Guard 416 stainless with black and stainless spacers.
Handle is one piece of polished black linen micarta.
5mm thick S30V @ 60RC, Cryo heat treatment, hidden tang construction flat ground and 600gt hand satin finish.
Its the bottom one in this picture.
Here is a picture of them together
Here are a couple I don't own but wish I did. He sent me these photos when I was talking to him about buying the two fighters so I hope he does not mind me sharing them with you guys. He really has a lot of talent and his engraving guy is just as good
