[SOLD] Ball bearing Bird&trout knife

[Daado]

Here is another knife forged from ball bearing and heat treated as 52100.

I've tried to forge it to fit in Bird 'n trout design, and to keep it good looking and simple.
Please note, it's made from "regular ball bearing" not the ones from M18 "Hellcat"

Flats are left raw, just soaked overnight in vinegar and wire brushed after forging.
After heat treatment, flats are brushed with scotch brite.
Bevels are made in satin finish with scotch brite.

Details:

Blade length - 105mm (4,13")
Blade width - 25mm (0,98")
Thickness at the back of the spine 2,6mm - (0,102")
Overall length - 208mm (8,19")

Handle material: Textolite (vintage phenolic micarta over 30 years old), black G10 liners, brass pins and lanyard tube.

Handmade 4mm thick (0,16") vegetable leather sheath.

Asking SOLD, priority shipping with tracking number included

Thanks for looking.

I really enjoy your design executions. How well does this bearing steel hold up in the way of toughness and edge retention?

I really like ball bearing steel as blade material. It keeps good edge without chipping and it's easy to sharpen. I'm using one made of roller bearing, for last three years, and i'm very satisfied

Nice grab. These are sweet, well made knives.

Shoot him a PM if you have some questions. It sounds like he has used Daado's knives before.

Another nice looking piece bud. I am trying to sell a knife to fund one from you... Hopefully soon.

One of these with bright colored liners will be mine!
Orange, blue, red, you name it... I will be keeping an eye out in the near future!

This really looks like an excellent knife for cleaning birds and trouts. I never understood how the old Randall model got named "Bird and Trout." This one looks more like a useful tool for that.
