Here is another one of my knives made from an old band saw blade from a lumber mill here in Northern California. The thickness of the blade is .1 inches with a length of 4.7 inches and an overall of 9.5. I've differentially heat treated the blade after grinding with a edge hardness of 60 Rc. The handle is Rosewood secured on the knifes full tang with loveless bolts and epoxy. The knife comes with a Kydex sheath that is set up to take a standard Tek Lok.
SOLD Price: $80 plus $5 shipping.
I prefer PayPal (my account is kelley_ward@keysight.com but take other forms of payment.
Thanks,

I make a lot of these and and get a lot of great feedback on how well they work and hold up. Here is a few testimonials from some of my customers:
1. I have one of Kelley's Nessmuk versions of this knife/blade steel. One of my favorites.
This one is even nicer and the price is not even worth the hesitation. Just buy it!
2. Great knife to have. Used mine chopping last weekend. It was still razor sharp at the end of the day. Cut my hand cleaning the blade.
3. Bamboo roots are tough. I use a 70 year old Collins machete to split the large root pad. This knife and a hammer to the spine to pound out smaller pads I plan to pot. A few swipes with a Felco diamond and the working edge is back. It's an abusive relationship that's working out. The beatings bring out the character. I own 3 and believe everyone should own one. $80? Not sure how he's making money on this.
4. I got mine last week. I've not been disappointed in my first one from several years back. Very tough steel.
