Good afternoon friends, I am offering a few items that I have either previously completed, or which I have made alongside customer orders over the last few weeks. All knives were heat treated by the world class heat treater Jarod Todd, except one by Peter's (also very well regarded) which I have noted in that knife's post. Weight and length specs for each knife are in the pictures. Sheaths are either Boltaron, or Holstex.
Payment is via itemized PayPal invoice, which I will send to your specified email address. Includes tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense and liability. First "I'll take it" with comms by PM or email (ie send me the email address you want the invoice sent to) gets priority. My email address is in my sig if you turn your phone sideways. Combined shipping saves $15 per extra item.
Thank you for looking!
Bitty Bitey Birdie Two - SOLD
This is an unconventional knife that came about entirely by accident. I was asked to make some chef knives, and all I had at the time that would accommodate the request in the specified time frame were some machete blanks, but the handle to blade angle was all wrong for a knife meant to be used on a cutting board. So I cut into the handle and removed all the material that would have obstructed knuckle clearance in pinch grip, and built the handle with a partial tang. The left-over material was too large to just throw away, and I knew I had to do something with it. And now we have "Bitty Bitey Birdie". I've made two of these so far, and like them so much that they are going to have their own design drawn up in my CAD files. Future iterations will the option of fob attachment.
It is a perfect sized knife for a keychain, pocket or neck carry, and non-knife people friendly in the extreme. And surprisingly secure in the hand for its size, would be a great hideaway knife.
Specs
Steel: .140" MagnaCut, 61 RC
Geometry: Full height flatvex grind, near zero edge
Handle: Hand textured red canvas Micarta
Sheath: Black Boltaron taco sheath included - very secure, but easy to unsheath one handed.
(below pic light reflection looks like an edge roll - it is not an edge roll; the edge is crisp and contiguous, and slices printer paper with no snagging)
Boltaron is a thermoplastic like Kydex, similar in price, but with a molding temperature about 30° higher than Kydex. This means that it is functionally identical to Kydex in all climates except that in high temperature climates it is a far superior choice, as it is much less likely to lose its shape if left in a hot car, for example. The only drawback to Boltaron over Kydex is it is available in fewer colors.
Holstex is a thermoplastic like Kydex, but with an artistic design molded into the outer surface. It has the same durability and resistance to the elements as Kydex.
