Here's a small hunter/utility that I just finished. I've had this blade done and sitting on the bench for a LONG time now. I had a very small window with a bit of downtime between other projects and commissions so I thought I'd finish it up. This is nice and thin and ground to match. It features a thin edge and is a real slicer.

Specs:
Ground from 1095 steel, clay quenched and etched
7 1/2" overall with a 3 1/4" blade, just shy of 3" of actual sharp edge, .120" thick at the ricasso
Nice distal taper
My "Twisted Steel" filework left slightly proud of the handle scales (feels great in hand)
Premium Desert Ironwood scales
Carved and textured scale panels
Gold plated screws (and 6 hidden pins for shear strength and proper alignment

Price SOLD shipped to the US. Price includes the brown, right hand sheath shown in the picture. Sheath has a belt loop on the back. I'm happy to discuss shipping options with my friends out of country.

Paypal, money order, or check accepted. Funds must clear prior to shipping.

That has to be one of the cleanest and most aesthetically pleasing small knives I have seen in a LONG time. Very well done.
 
Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate it. This one still needs a good home. :)
 
1200 views and plenty of good comments but no takers. :)

I thought the price was a pretty good bargain, especially including the leather. I know it's a three piece knife, basically but the filework and texturing are the better part of two days work.

Anyone care to give any insight from a buyer's or collector's perspective? It would be much appreciated.

Man that is just an awesome little knife. Typically I don't like file work but that "twisted steel" file work looks great along with the texturing of the handle. I love everything about it. Unfortunately I'm not a buyer because I'm too broke.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. I think a lot of folks are in the same boat. It's hard to keep much 'disposable' income around these days. :)
 
Still looking to move this one along to a new owner. :)
