Small Hunter's Knife

[Matt Markell]

Hi everyone,

Today I have for sale what I call a Hunter's knife. I designed it to be capable of skinning, bushcraft, camp work, pretty much anything you can throw at it. It's a very useful design in a nice compact size.

Some specs:

Blade steel: 1/8" 1084 at 59Rc with etched finish. Heat treated by Darrin Sanders.
Handle: Mexican Cocobolo with black G10 liners
Hardware: 410 stainless lanyard tube and peened pins
Grind: FFG with swedge, fine lightly convexed edge

Price: $140 shipped CONUS, +$20 for a leather sheath. I take Paypal, USPS MO and check. Extra shipping is extra. To buy, just post "I'll take it" in this thread then email me at markellmtthw@aol.com and let me know where it needs to go and how you want to pay.

A quick note:
This knife is not absolutely incredibly awesomely perfect. There are a few MINOR cosmetic blemishes. The price reflects this. I tried to take photos that show them but they aren't that noticeable in pictures.

This knife will make a superb users blade, I just wanted to be honest with you guys. You'll have a one week inspection period where I will accept returns no questions asked as long as it's in original condition.

I cover my knives with a lifetime common sense warranty; if you have a problem, I'll fix it for as long as I'm still grinding.

Some pics:

My sheaths are not fancy or even especially pretty but they work very well and are comfortable to use.
If you choose to buy a sheath, it will be similar to this one:

Thanks for looking everyone
If you have any questions, just let me know. I appreciate your comments.

Have a Merry Christmas
Matt

Lookin' good Matt, I really like the way the etch turned out. Somebody is gonna get a nice deal.

Thanks Darrin, it's a sweet knife for sure. I got pretty much exactly the etch I was looking for with this one.
It's definitely one of my favorite knives that I have made so far.

Great looking Bushcrafter with a blood line. Perfect for skinning then making a fire for cooking.
Nice knife.

Lovin' the rustic look on this one - the etching is appealing. Nice work.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I have a few more in this pattern that I'll be finishing out with the same etched finish.

I hope I'm not scaring y'all off with my disclaimer above, it's a great knife, it just has a few little niggles that make it not perfect. Nothing that affects the functionality whatsoever.
