Gentlemen:
For your consideration is this F4 Bowie in 1084/Black Micarta. This fast, full tang, file fighter (F4) is designed for the user that prefers a fast and light bowie. The major grinds were ground almost concave on a large radius platen to reduce weight......the edge geometry is sharpened to convex, so this fighter can take the abuse of chopper work. The swedge is sharpened on this model. The file is a new Vallorbe farrier's file (Swedish made) - the steel corresponds to 1084. I'll be making a Southern style sheath for this knife in the next couple days. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it," PM or email gets it. $475 delivered CONUS. Paypal please - tksteingass@frontier.com. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening. This fighter is listed on my website also. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.
3/16" 1084 stock (farrier's file)
HT to Rc 59-60
Parks 50 quench - double draw
