Hello everyone! First ever posting...I hope I can compliment all the beauties I have seen here. I have no forge, so these are stock removal blades, professionally tempered by the guys at Stack in Portland. The below are the first two from a batch of 25 various blade shapes in A2 and D2 that I have been working on for far too long. I have six more completed that will be released in the coming days. The designs are all mine, and I do my own kydex, leatherwork, and make micarta from various materials. I hope you like what I have to offer.
Commonalities:
A2 tool steel @ 59-60 HRC, 0.17" at spine and 1.5" blade height.
Clip Point with mild swedge up top. Sabre grind with forced patina (more pronounced speckling on the 5") and 18deg. sharpened edge.
Handmade Denim micarta scales, nicely contoured and sitting at about 0.95" at the swell.
Sheath is desert tan kydex clad in denim, to kind of match the handles. Multi-piece construction, sleeve-style dangler attachment made from thin stamped veg. tan (boa pattern). Sleeve and belt loop are each two pieces, matched and glued back to back, then stitched together. Eyelets to accommodate tek-lock style if preferred.
4" version: 4-1/8" tip to scales, 9-1/8" OAL, 10.56 oz.
Asking $300 shipped con US, and I'll throw in an adjustable Combat Loop Belt Clip w/ hardware.
5" Version: 5-1/8" tip to scales, 10-1/8" OAL, 11.2 oz.
Asking $SOLD shipped con US, and I'll throw in an adjustable Combat Loop Belt Clip w/ hardware
Not pursuing a career in photography, so hopefully my pics show enough detail.
I'd love to hear what you all think, and am open for comments.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking
