Greetings Sharp Family!
4” of quiet badassery (IMHO), is still available and I’d love to NOT deny someone else of the joy…
*Lightly Edited version of my original posting from 1/21/24*
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. 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.
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 tan kydex clad in denim, to (kind-of) match the handles.
Multi-piece, sleeve-style dangler attachment made from thin stamped veg. tan (boa pattern) leather. Sleeve and belt loop are each two pieces, matched and glued back to back, then stitched together. (Harder than you think…)
Eyelets to accommodate tek-lock style if preferred.
4" version: 4-1/8" tip to scales, 9-1/8" OAL, 10.56 oz.
This thing gives you a feeling, hard to explain...please don't make me keep it
**Pondering some alterations to the sheath...looks a little soft?
Asking$300 $285 shipped con US, and I'll throw in a Combat Loop Belt Clip **or IWB Clip w/ hardware.**
Venmo or Zelle preferred but Paypal/chk/mo will work work with good communication
5" Version: 5-1/8" tip to scales, 10-1/8" OAL, 11.2 oz.
