Gentlemen:
Well, my business computer just died and I have an Ed Brown Elite Carry 1911 that I have to pay for. So, it's time to move a knife that's languished on my website for awhile. For your consideration is my interpretation of the Beaver Knife in stabilized Bastogne Walnut and 1095. Used for fleshing out game, the rounded nose of the blade prevents puncturing the pelt. This will be the only hollow ground version of the knife that I'm going to make - future versions will be flat ground - there's just too much hand work involved in getting a wide hollow grind like this true across the nose. The blade was hand rubbed to a working 400 grit finish and etched to reveal a vivid hamon line. The hollow ground blade is sharpened all the way up to the spine with deep 15 degree bevels for quick slicing of connective tissue - as such, this knife is specialized and not designed for heavy bushcraft work. The bottom of the ricasso is rounded and sized to comfortably/safely choke up on the blade with your index finger. The Bastogne Walnut was stabilized by K&G Finishing - the picture does not capture the chatoyance and curls that pop in and out as you move the knife. The solder joint is straight and true with no pinholes - superb fit and finish. I haven't made the sheath yet so you may ask for right or left hand. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $350$285 plus $20 shipping - Paypal preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com Thank you for checking out my work and comments are always welcomed. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
