Patton is SOLD. Thanks Dredd
Rob Patton is one of a very few ABS smiths who specializes in forged, differentially tempered fighters, and, with him recently becoming a Journeyman Smith, you can expect his prices to rise, if they haven't already.
This is a beauty. 5.5", razor sharp, double edged fighter blade, forged from high carbon steel, differentially tempered with a very distinctive and nicely executed temper line, the steel has been lightly etched to reveal it's grain structure. The handles are absolutely the sweetest snakewood I have ever seen, with hand made, copper and steel pins. The bolsters are a subtle cable damascus, reminds me of snakeskin actually, and, on the thick spine, there is his trademark fileworked cross. Comes with a very sturdy and well fitted belt sheath.
This is a heavy duty forged, diff. tempered fighter from one of the best. I know many of us would love to own one of his famous mini-gun damascus fighters, but, they run about $1500, this is a gorgeous alternative that will cost a LOT less and still satisfy your Patton fighter craving.

Price on this one is fair and firm at $SOLDshipped insured 2-day.
PayPal OK with no fees. Otherwise a MO is good too.
First to both email me and say those magic words: "I'll take it", gets it.
Thanks for looking, here are the pics I took last week.
