Blade Length: 3 1/2"
Overall Length: 7 7/8"
Spine thickness: .104"
Steel: 154CM heat treated by Peters to a hardness of 60 RC. Cryo was part of the heat treatment.
Handle: Redwood stabilized by K & G, nickelsilver pins, G-Flex expoxy
Issues: This one has a few defects, so I am just hoping to recover part of my cost of materials.
There is some tearout and a crack on the left side of the handle. However, it is all filled with epoxy, and I glued everything up carefully, so it should be good for kitchen or moderate outdoor use, as long as you don't repeatedly smack it against a rock. Because of the crack, I am offering the knife at a reduced price.
The sheath: as usual, I made an ugly sheath, but I used good leather to make it. There is a dark speck on the out-facing side, and a burn mark on the other side, where I set it down on a radiator. It'll be fine as long as you don't let your dog chew on it.
Asking $40, which includes Priority shipping anywhere in the USA. The first unconditional "I'll take it" gets it.
