This is one of my interpretations of a sharpfinger design.
OAL: 7 7/8 inches
Blade: 3 1/4 inches, 1080 steel, full quench with a differential temper. Blade is finished to 600 grit, with a hint of forge patine left on.
Handle: Black acacia. Grown and harvested through the SD Zoo. Photos don't show it but black acacia tends to have a slight "tiger eye" effect when waxed and buffed out. Finish ont he wood is 800 grit, with oil and briwax soaked in, then buffed out. Pins are 1/8 in brass
I included the handle fore in part of the blade curve, and it's very comfortable and usable as such.
Grind is a high taper convex, easy to maintain with a strop.
Sheath is a Koyote Girl made Ranger pattern. The horizontal strap retains the belt loop, so no stitching from the belt loop lies inside the sheath body. All seams are double needle hand stitched.
Asking $150, with $7 shipping in the US (priority insured). Other shipping and out of country shipping available on request. Paypal, checks, money orders, all work fine.
