I bought this one from Joe last year and never used it. I liked his work so much that I had him make me another knife to my specs. This one just sits in my safe unloved.
The blade is 52100. The blade is 4 1/8" long, 1" wide and .150" thick. The handle is bubinga. There are a few very faint marks on the blade. I think that they are from the sheath.
Here's what Joe has to say about the steel.
"steel- 52100e from a 1" round bar from mcmaster Carr, Forged, with in-house differential heat treatment which includes triple post forging quences, triple normalize, triple anneal, triple edge quench, and triple draw, with 24 hour freezer cycles between thermal events, for the highest performing blade that I can make, that holds a incredible edge, and yet is easy to sharpen!"
$165 shipped in USA. Not interested in trades. PayPal OK. SOLD
