This is one of my Nubilus pattern blades with a full flat double bevel and the plunge moved forward off the handle area. It features Bolivian Rosewood for the handle scales, waxed and polished for protection and beauty. I am now including the leather sheath. This is perfect as a small field knife or even a paring or steak knife, particularly if you're into more traditional gear. The only "modern" aspect to this knife is the stainless material for the pins and the adhesive used on the scales.

General Stats:
1/8" 1080
7.5" Overall
7/8" tall
~ 3.25" blade
1/8" thick handle scales of Bolivian Rosewood, finished with a hard wax.
Sole authorship and each of my knives is unique, even within a blade pattern. Sheath is not my work.
$70+shipping (including leather sheath) This is a price drop since it was last posted.
I prefer paypal but accept other payment methods. Shipping domestic by USPS Priority mail w/insurance and tracking will be $8.

This thing is shaving sharp, the full flat grinds come down to a thin edge just slightly thicker toward the tip for extra strength. It's comfy in the hand and while I don't so a lot of sculpting on my 1/8" scales the index finger area is well shaped for comfort and a good hold.
The black area between blade and handle is left as heat treated. It got some buffing while finishing the rest of the knife but is essentially natural. Likewise, my Maker's Mark was put on before final cleanup to give an aged look, matching the rest of the knife. If you'd like it further buffed and an unaged maker's mark just let me know. I don't do mirror finishes generally but can certainly go further than this. It's already pretty bright though.
The blade isn't blue. :D That's the nice blue sky we had when I took the pic. In one pic you can actually see the reflection of my neighbor's house a bit as well.

This one needs a home, folks. ;)

Thanks, guys. I think, if it doesn't sell this round, I'm going to buff the blade up a bit and redo the maker's mark nice and crisp rather than keep the slightly aged look. Either that or just keep it and use it as a steak knife for myself. lol
I've already got a knife I made for that job but it's not as pretty as this one.
