Hello Folks, Just finished this fairly cool hunter w/something a little different on the leather stamp. Still not sure what to think of my home made elk track leather stamp idea. Might not be quite correct but maybe close. Hope you like it.
Blade is CTS-BD1N. This is some left over steel from a couple customs i did a while ago. It takes an edge quite well. It is .152 thick and 3.562 tip to bolsters. O/A is 8.25. Heat treated with CRYO and double tempered at 350 for two hrs ea. I polished the blade and finished with 2000 grit. Tang is tapered and hollow ground w/ file work which works well for thumb placement.
Bolsters are C.F. held tight with .092 bronze welding rod.
Handle is forest green G10 with .014 orange G10 spacers, see through mosaic pins and lanyard hole. Mosaic pins are very carefully installed to provide very good shear strength.
Sheath is hand tooled and hand stitched 8-9 ounce leather. I use a piece of sole leather for the Loveless cam idea and make sure the point of the guard is smooth. The knife pops into place very secure yet is easy to withdraw.
Asking (sold) shipped in the USA. paypal is warrencustomknives@yahoo.com
I appreciate you all having a look. Alan
