Gentlemen,
This is the third variation of my Tamarack model. It has a little more belly and a thumb ramp. It's in 26C3 carbon steel at RC63-64 with some nice hamon. The handle material is absolutely beautiful curly Silver Wattle. The chatoyance is very close to Koa. It's an Australian hardwood in the Acacia family, making it a cousin to Tasmanian Blackwood and Koa. It has been professionally stabilized by K&G.
SPECS:
OAL: 9.25"
BLADE: 4.25" long, 1.25" wide. It has been hand finished to 1200 grit, etched and polished to reveal the hamon. The grind is hybrid flat/convex which is down to 0.009" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.13" 26C3 carbon steel heat treated to RC63-64.
HANDLE: K&G stabilized curly Silver Wattle with natural micarta liners, toxic green G10 pinstripes and bronze pins.
Sheath: Leather sheath
Price: $SOLD Shipped USPS in the CONUS
international buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
