Russ made this one for me awhile back, and it never got used. He recently made me a slightly different version that I like a little better, so this one is up for sale. 6" or so blade is ground from 1/8" stock BG42, with Paul Bos heat treat. Flat ground super thin, but the blade is not really flexible(which gives it more usefulness, utility-wise, IMHO). Stainless guard/spacers with a couple of colored spacers. Mortis tang burgundy micarta, with such a good fit, you can barely see the seam. Blade is handrubbed to at least 1000 grit(probably finer, but what do I know?)Handstitched, wetformed(also soaked in linseed oil and parafin) leather sheath by Russ. There are only two of these in existence, and the other is getting used hard by the Father of a friend of mine(he won't give it up, I tried). Believe me, this would make one heck of a slicer/dicer. I just couldn't bring myself to use the gorgeous thing.

$325 shipped to any U.S. address. Outside the U.S., actual shipping charges apply. Paypal is cool(as well as money orders), but I ask that the buyer split the fees with me. And, yes, it comes with the skull lanyard.
