This is a blank that was started by a non-knife maker who wanted to try his hand at making, but changed his mind when trying to grind blades. He had already started a bunch of blanks by then, and gave three of these to one of my repeat customers when he decided to call it quits. My customer then gave me these three blanks, saying "make and sell these, a gift for you". They were in pretty bad shape as far as uniformity goes, and I spend a lot of time grinding carefully by hand (I don't have a surface grinder) to undo the original makers criss-crossing grind lines. Long story short, I ended up making these a lot thinner than they were in order to make them flat. I originally said these were heat treated by Jarod Todd, but that was an oversight, which I have corrected after reaching out the the man who gave me the blanks, and I have adjusted the price down a bit as well.

Sheath: Black Boltaron taco sheath
Price is expired, payable via itemized PayPal invoice, which I will send to your email address. Includes tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense and liability. First "I'll take it" with comms by PM or email (ie send me the email address you want the invoice sent to) gets priority. My email address is in my sig if you turn your phone sideways.
Thanks for looking!
