Good evening to all! Trying to show you guys some variety...a little silly, but yeah...
Hope you like it

A2, 59-60hrc, 0.20" at spine x 1.83" tall x 12.5" OAL. 7-3/8" tip to scales; long clip point with a light, unsharpened swedge.
High Sabre grind with a 1500 grit reflective (not a mirror, but more-so than is evident in the pics) satin finish and an 18.5deg edge

Handmade Denim & Burlap scales w/ hand-rolled center pin to match. Nicely contoured, but hand-filling at just shy of 1" at the swell, and sanded with 400 grit cloth to be smooth, but keep the texture.

Handmade, wet-molded Leather Sheath with removable/reversible overstraps and dangler attachment, making it fully ambidextrous, and (while not really practical or advisable), capable of horizontal carry. Dangler has a shock-cord with a Hand-rolled bead to match the scales.

This thing is a beast and it needs to be used...I wish I could, but...
Please enjoy and let me know what you think...

Asking $SOLD shipped CONUS. Paypal or Venmo please, Checks and MO's are weird, but I guess people accept those as well?
First "I'll take it" or the like, gets to ease me of the torture...

Thanks for looking
Bill

Thank you very much J jfk1110 , birdave birdave , and adluginb adluginb !!! I really try to make my blades reflect the ridiculous amount of time I have to spend on each one...minimal equipment and limited skills.

You do some fine work.....Blades and leather.......Your style/signature look is one of a kind.......And its awesome👍
 
Not silly at all, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything about this!

Those scales are very unique and look great as does the sheath!

The bead, the handle pins, the sheath, the blade finish, the scales, it all works together so well and makes it into one fantastic looking package!

This is definitely one of my favorites I've seen here and there are LOTS of great looking blades on this forum.

Well done!!!

Wow man…just wow!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
 
Yes very nice. Consider making that thing with 3V, Magnacut, Abe-L and maybe a nice Kydex sheath and you’d have a seller! Nothing against leather and yours is stunning.

Thank you Andy. Budget was the biggest factor when I purchased the steel, so chose something in the middle, yet still trustworthy...3V and Magna are nearly double the cost of A2. I agree Kydex is always a better option with carbon blades, but this one just screamed leather...:)

A2 with a good heat treatment is excellent. Looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got on the grinder. Beautiful knives
