I will honor the time stamp on an unconditional “I’ll take it” posted here or via PM, however, I do reserve the right to sell (or not) to anyone and for any reason. Prices are PayPal G&S and shipped to the US (international buyers accept all risk and pay the difference in shipping). No trades please.

I picked this one up recently from a maker (Broken Oak) on eBay. Blade is ~3 5/8”, 8 1/4” OAL, A tad over 1/8” thick. Buckeye Burl scales over green liners. Nice thick handle. Fit and finish is pretty good, but not flawless. Scale has a small chip or two at the edge on one side - see pictures (came to me this way from the maker). Knife is unused, but I did need to strop the blade when I received it, because it still had a good sized bur on it. Comes with the Diomedes sheath shown.

Asking $125 shipped.


Description from maker:
“Custom one of a kind bushcraft knife, made solely by me every step of the process. As beautiful and stunning as this knife is, it's as heavy duty a bushcraft knife as you could hope for. Cpm 3v steel @ 59 HRC. Scandi grind blade that's just under 4'' long. Cutting egde almost all the way to the front of the handle for fine close up work. 8 3/4'' overall length, just over 1/8'' thick spine. Heat treat finish left on blade flats that shows natural swirls of blues and purple variations. Sharpened spine for ferro rod use/ tinder prep. Absolutely stunning buckeye burl scales with .06'' neon green micarta liners. Handle is highly contoured and follows the same shape of the skookum bushtool. 3-1/8'' copper pins in handle that's kind of become my thing, I put them on all my knives for the past year. 3- 1/4'' copper lanyard tubes in handle that are more for lashing to reach things than to attach as a spear. I opted for no shearing hole on the front of the blade for this one (most people don't have a use for it) so I left it out. No sheath included, but does fit in my skookums sheath as well as many other common leather bushcraft sheaths.”

@heresay1 the scales are flush (or close to it) with the blade tang. I wouldn't say they're as good as say a Fiddleback Forge knife, but they're not bad.

Just double checked, and I can just barely catch my fingernail in a couple of places, but it’s not something I notice in hand at all.

Yes, it still is. If you’re interested in it, post your email address and I’ll get in touch (you can then delete your email from the post)
I had a bit of trouble logging back into the site but I am back now. If you would like to email me at ..... it would probably be easier.
