This one has a gorgeous piece of wood on it!! A little while ago I sold a knife to a BF member, who gave me an excuse to raise my wood finishing skills, after about a week worth of studying and practice, this is the first knife besides his to feature this much nicer method of handle finishing.
A big thanks to the forum members who make us better makers!!
OAL- 8 3/4"
blade- 4 3/16" long, .150" thick, 3/4" wide at the guard
steel- Aldo's high carbon 1095, Forged, with in-house differential heat treatment
grind- a full convex grind, with distal taper
finish- etched 600 grit finish, with hamon
handle- a very nice piece of tiger maple, lightly dyed with tru-oil finish
guard- 1/4" brass, and 1/8" brass pin
sheath- 11oz leather, hand stitched, hand-tooled, hot-waxed, with cam, for "snap fit", 3 copper rivets for belt loop
blade fully tested for edge retention and tip strenth before finishing
