Many thanks to Eternal Edge Eternal Edge

Hello everyone! This bad boy is finally ready to be placed in front of you all.
It is a 1 of 2...created at the behest of by brother-in-law...the other one is in a different color scheme and can be seen on my home page. I hope you enjoy it!

NitroV Stainless w/cryo @ 61.1 HRC.
0.163 x 2.0 x 12.75 OAL. 6-7/8 tip to scales with 6-5/8 of cutting edge.
600 Grit Satin and weighs 12.64 oz.
Sawback (aggressive but not sharpened) along the spine with Rock Texturing on the flats.
Handle is Handmade Micarta (chopped-up t-shirts) done in camo colors. Rock texturing to match blade, and the fronts are contoured to follow the blade texturing.
Approx. 1-1.2" thick.

Sheath is Tan Kydex with Leather belt loop and security strap bolted to a green mounting plate.
Leather is also textured and dyed in camo colors to match the handle. (not perfect, but a decent attempt)

Thanks for looking, and I hope it jumps out at somebody!
Asking $*SOLD* shipped CONUS. Venmo or Zelle preferred, but PayPal works.

Thanks!

Love it, but how can the spine be sharpened?

Thank you! The opening of each "tooth" is "sharp" by their angle, and provide bite, but the sides are ground to a relatively shallow angle. To make it truly sharp, the sides would need to be re-ground at a sharper angle to create something more akin to a cutting edge along the teeth. I thought about it but decided against...not really sure why
 
Good afternoon, Bill.

Your work continues to evolve, and quickly. Much progress in a short period of time. Well done! Love your style! Great choice of steal, handle material, etc. I like the use of that hammered type finish then transitioning directly to a sawtooth spine. Very impressive! And your finish work rarely disappoints, as you are clearly a perfectionist. Keep doing what you are doing, my friend. A fine job!

Sorry Jon, I posted a reply to this the other day, and somehow it disappeared, or I screwed something up,,,
Your compliments mean everything to me as you were the first on here to take a chance on my work. And then you came back for another...
I can't thank you enough for kicking things off for me, and for your continued support.
Bill
 
Thanks Bill! This one drew me in with your signature work on this blade and that camo micarta, finished with the sheath work! Excited to get it in my hands soon.
 
All thanks to you, JT! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
