Stag, Micarta and 52100 SOLD

[G L Drew]

I forged this smaller knife from a cutoff to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Sometimes I wonder if the extra labor to salvage a bit of steel is really worth the effort and as you can see there are a couple of what we call "unfortunate hammer blows" but my wife tells me that these give the knife character.

Forged from 52100 high carbon steel
Heat treated to Rc 58-60 with attention to a fine grain structure throughout the blade
Flat grind with hammer marks on the flats
Stag and Micarta handle on a hidden tang
Overall length: 7 3/4 inches
Blade: 3 3/4 inches
Leather scabbard with a belt loop for a right hand carry

$old delivered within our United States. Please message me for shipping and payment options




Oops, I just noticed some buffing compound left of the brass, It's been wiped off..

That's beautiful. I assume the tang goes all the way back into the stag before it curves?

It was a nervous job getting a deep hole opened for the tang without cutting through the sides or crown. Not that I’ve ever done that in the past
Epoxied in with JB Weld.

Fine work. I like the stacked handle with the flat treatment. Nice piece of stag to finish it all off.
Would love to see one of your beautiful Sharp Fingers mated to this handle style.

You are knocking it out the park with these smaller knives! Seeing this I wonder if I should have waited, lol. Great work!
