Good evening everyone,
From my Bloomfield Line. "Rancher" Everything Knife. It'll work as hard as you do and designed to last lifetimes. Built to be used.
Hand forged, 5160 steel heat treated to 60/62 HRC with western maple scales and copper pins.
1.7 inch blade length with a flat grind to a zero edge before sharpening.
.220 spine with a tang distal taper to .170.
7.0 overall length.
Disclosures: Please review all high-res photos and ask questions before you purchase. There are hammer marks on the tang spine and forging scale on the “ricasso” area of the blade, some small areas of scale down to the edge, not the edge itself.
I stand by my work with a Lifetime Warranty. If you're interested in my training and background (metallurgy; aerospace) you can check out my website at @AKATCo_Entertainment on YouTube.
Comes with a simple, 9/10 oz., riveted, leather belt sheath.
$275.00 USD
For purchases: Link to the Rancher is below. All purchases are made directly from my business website to prevent multiple purchases of the same knife. Please be so kind as to update the thread after purchase for other forum members. I will update to “sold” as soon as I am aware. Thank you and enjoy the knife!
