Hello Folks, Hope you like my latest creation. I enjoy going outside the box a little now and then. A solid inlay idea like this is something I first tried about 15 years ago. I don't do a lot of them. This one turned out quite cool IMHO. Of course its not for everyone.
Blade is CPM 154 .191 thick and 4. in. tip to guard. O/A is 9. in. Heat treated with cryo and double tempered. I polish the blade then finish with 2000 grit. The blade reaches into the aluminum pammel.
Guard is 416 stainless very carefully silver soldered with NO! pin holes.
Handle is of nice Sambar stag with Musk ox, Ironwood, nickel silver, brass, and thin black G10 spacers. Semi subhilt and pammel are 7075 aircraft aluminum. Everything is screwed together with high grade epoxy. I press fit and peen a brass plug to cover screw in pammel.
Sheath is hand tooled and hand stitched 8-9 ounce leather with a Musk ox horn inlay. The horn is attached to a flange very secure with .092 bronze welding rod which is carefully peened. The horn would have to be destroyed to get it to come lose. I use the Loveless cam idea so the knife fits very secure yet is easy to withdraw.
Asking (withdrawn) shipped in the USA. My paypal is warrencustomknives@yahoo.com Thank you all for looking. Alan
