While designing this fighter I wanted to create a knife that looked like it was something Jim Bowie himself could have used in his famous sand bar fight. This fighter is hand forged (I dont have a power hammer) from 5160, a steel well known for toughness and edge holding. I've left hammer marks and forging scales in the blade to give this knife a unique and rich character all of its own. The blade is differentially heat treated (although I did not etch the blade to bring out a temper line) to produce a nice hard edge so itll do lot of cutting between sharpening while having a soft spine for great toughness. The handle is made from curly Koa wood with white and black contrasting spacers and elk antler giving the knife a classic appearance. The guard and pommel made from brass. I've taken extra care in the fit and finish of the handle and guard to give this fighter a very high quality crafted look and it is a winner. The fighter comes with a brown leather sheath.
Specs:
Steel: 3/10 inch thick 5160 high carbon steel differentially heat treated.
Overall Length about 13.4 inches
Blade Length is 7.8 inches long from guard to tip with a dagger like blade that is hair popping sharp on both sides.
Handle is curly Koa wood with elk antler with a brass guard and pommel. This hidden tang design runs all they though the handle and threaded to the end cap pommel.
Tooled brown leather sheath (shown).
SOLD Price is $225 plus $12 shipping in US
I prefer PayPal (my account is kelley_ward@keysight.com) but take other forms of payment.
Thanks,
