Hi everybody! Wanted to put this beefy little Drop Point back out there
D2, 61-62 HRC
0.152" x 1.2" tall x 8" OAL. Weighs 6.4oz and is maybe slightly handle-heavy
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 if you prefer to carry it a little higher, 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.
*Was$250, now asking $225 shipped CONUS. Venmo or Zelle Preferred...Paypal is fine, but it's slow and expensive
Thanks for looking (again?), and I'd love to here from you.
