Happy Monday Everyone! Not trying to flood the valley, but I've got 8 finished tools waiting to get out of their storage case. I hope you all like this next one.
D2, 61-62 HRC
0.152" x 1.2" tall x 8" OAL.
3.5" tip to scales. High sabre grind with 600grit hand finish (always), 18deg edge and relatively sharp spine for firesteels.
Scales are thick slabs of Handmade 3-Color Corduroy (Camo colors), with dimpled (rock pattern?) texturing. Not contoured, but nicely rounded on the edges and finished with 400grit cloth...0.95" thick at widest and feels great in the hand.
I did the sheath in kind of a bushcraft style, with Removable Dangler, Handmade camo-handled Firesteel, and a relatively deep seat in the wet-molded pocket. Right hand carry only on this one...my apologies to the lefties. As with all my leather, they are hot-wax treated and sealed after staining. Of note: belt loop came out a little lighter in color than the body of the sheath...I promise they were done at the same time...poor lighting?
As always, my pics aren't great (plus missing the right side completely), but hopefully show enough. I've got a video, but not sure how to get it on here...doh!
*Previously asking, $250, now $235 shipped CONUS. Paypal or Venmo Preferred
Thanks for looking and I'd love to here from you.
