Asking Price including sheath $OLD plus shipping
I accept paypal or MO.
If you are not satisfied you can return within 7 days for a full refund. Knife must be in original condition.

This knife was inspired by the old Schrade Sharpfinger. The sheath is also patterned after the sharpfinger sheath. Please give me a few days to complete sheath and specify left or right.

Construction: Full tang

Steel: Aldos 1095 at 8" OAL hardened to RC60 by Peters Heat Treat.

Edge Geometry: bevels ground on 36" radius platen. Mimics the large diameter stone wheels of old. The thickness is .010 to .015 behind the edge. The tip is a bit thicker for strength. This is a slicer and not an edge that will take tons of abuse. The RC hardness is a bit low at rc60 to try and avoid chipping against bone.

Edge: Hand con vexed with 4000/8000 grit water stone. Shaving sharp.

Fasteners: Naval Brass Pins and West Systems Marine grade epoxy.

Handle: Desert Ironwood hand finished to about 1000 grit.

Sheath: 10 oz Heavy duty Tooling leather from Wicket & Craig.

This is first knife on blade forums that features my new makers mark: Tim Johnson, maker, Oxford, MA
