Good morning guys... this will be the only price-drop for this knife (because, quite honestly, I think is was priced a little low before ;)). Thanks for looking.

Please note that the scratch in the sheath (visible in the first photo) has been cleaned up... and now, with a magical touch-up coat of Gel Antique, it is now all but invisible.

The plan for this knife was for a dark look that complemented the redwood burl, so I went with a blued guard and a bit of a darker etch on the blade. This redwood has a nice organic flow to it with open pores and grain. Oftentimes I will fill all pores with CA, but in this case chose not to. Because the block was stabilized by K&G, I felt comfortable leaving a more natural look and simply sealing with a multi-coat tung-oil finish.

This knife is light and fast in the hand, having a very comfortable handle and a blade that starts at ~3/16" thick at the guard with a smooth distal taper. The edge is ground quite thin, and the clip is unsharpened.

The price for this one is SOLD shipped within the US. Please contact me concerning shipping outside the US. Buyer is responsible for determining the legality of this knife within their state or country of residence. I prefer payment via Paypal. If interested -- or if you just have some questions or comments -- feel free to shoot me a PM or email. My goal is 100% satisfaction; so if for any reason the buyer is not happy with this knife, please ship it back undamaged within 30-days and I'll send a full refund.


Some Stats:
Length: 13-1/2"
Blade: 7-11/16" (Tip to Choil)
Steel: Differentially heat-treated 1095 (from Kelly Cupples) Flat-Ground
Handle: Stabilized Redwood Burl (from Mark Farley at Burl Source)
Guard: Blued mild steel (from a plate I found on the side of the road)

Thanks Jack. It has a bit of a khukri shape, but has a much thinner grind. It's light and fast… not nearly as forward weighted as any of my HI khuks.
 
I just keep coming back and looking at the handle , that redwood is unreal , this should not still be here . The folks just don't know your work yet I guess . If I could afford to collect still , it would be here in my home .

Folks , come on now . Erin is seriously anal about the craftmanship in his work .
 
Ok...Ok... I just cant stop any-more...I have looked and looked at this knife, Erin, thank you for answering my question on your knife, I must apologise that I actually didn't specify which thread it was, but you got the nail on the head.
I just have to take this beauty, please get back to me if Overseas is ok with you-any doubts?..please check my feedback.
