Once in a full moon, I need to take a break from the Loveless-style knives that I've been making, so I decided to make a few of my own designs.

I like my knives to be used, and most knives that are used are abused! So here is my affordable version of the sharpened prybar:

P1010938.jpg


P1010939.jpg


P1010940.jpg


P1010942.jpg


Specs:

5160 spring steel heat treated to HRC 60 with a soft back draw.
Overall Length: 9.5"
Blade Length (to top of scales): 4.5"
Blade Width: 1.75"
Thickness at ricasso: 0.318"
Handle: Symmetrically contoured black canvas micarta with brass tube rivets

Price: SOLD includes shipping to CONUS.

The knife goes to the first person who posts "I'll take it".

It weighs in at a beastly 16.5 oz, 22 oz with the sheath.
 
I want one too. I tried to send an E-mail. If it doesn't get thru mike the medic 57 at hotmail dot com please.....Thanks.
 
IMPRESSIVE - Can you replace the leather sheath with a Kydex one? and how long will it take you to make more? Thanks, Ben
 
Very nice! No sissy taper in that bad boy. :) :thumbup:
I think I want one too.

You basically heat treat the blade and after tempering, you immerse the cutting edge (I go halfway up from the cutting edge) in water, then you torch the rest of the knife.

This way, the handle and spine of the knife are spring tempered for strength, while the cutting edge is harder for better wear resistance.

Hope I explained it clearly. :)
