Greetings everyone, I’ll call this a vest fighter I guess but please don’t use it like that unless you reaalllly have to!!

Dimensions - 1/8” x 9 9/16” OAL and 1 3/8” tall – 4 3/4” from tip to guard. Pro HT to 60,61 by Paul Bos (great folks over there BTW). – Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a fine satin finish. Edge before sharpening was .010” or so and it balances behind the guard.

The coke bottle handle is Elk and Bocote, with a deeply incised Brass guard and black G10 spacers. The handle is sanded to 1200 grit and finished with multiple coats of Danish oil then buffed with carnauba wax. The handle feels great in my average size hand. “The Egyptian” sheath is a snug fit with great retention yet easy to deploy.

Asking $old to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal (G&S only please), check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.

Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.

Thankee kindly Fatdogearl I really appreciate your comment! Stay tuned!
 
The blending of the elk on top of the Bocote is a really nice artistic flair! Beautifully done!
 
Hi ADBrown ADBrown , thanks and yes it's tedious but essential work to match the antler's undulations, I like to keep as much bark on the antler as possible.
 
So sorry to hear that peri_pheral peri_pheral she must have been a fighter all right, details in our private conversation.

Thank you
John
