My name is Jeff Fogleboch and I am a young knifemaker. I've been making knives on and off for a while and recently I've really been trying to become the best I can and turn out very high quality work. I am a college student so its difficult to find time to work on my knives but when I do I am very passionate about it. I do have to thank some people that have made this possible. I would like to take a moment to give special thanks to Mathew Gregory and John smith for mentoring me through my bladesmithing quest. Matthew has answered all of my questions about knifemaking in general and has helped me in numerous ways for over a year now. John has allowed me to come to his shop many times and has helped me improve my forging and understanding of Japanese style blades. Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate the help. My skill level wouldn't be anywhere near where it is without you guys.
This knife is made from 1084 with a hand rubbed finish. The cutting edge is about 3.9" long and overall is anout 8" overall and blade is an excellent slicer due to the thin edge (it was brought down to about .01" before sharpening.) The handle is made from a gorgeous piece of desert ironwood burl with 6061 aluminum pins and tubing. It also has all rounded edges and a very nice palm swell. The sheath is made from wicket and Craig leather. It is wet formed, features a welt, and it handstitched by me. The sheath was dyed and treated with snoseal to protect it from water and give it a nice color. The leather sheath has excellent retention and has a nice click when the blade is fully sheathed. I have tested it and it does not fall out if you turn it upside down and shake the sheath up and down.
ASKING: SOLD
Thanks a lot guys!
