This is a tactical blade design but also elegant in appearance (of coarse I'm the maker and may be biased). ATS-34 steel .2 inches thick was selected as the cutting media for this knife. I hardened it in an Even Heat oven wrapped in foil at 1950 degrees F for 30 min. then air cooled with fans. The blade was allowed to remain in in dry ice for 72 hours then two 2 hour tempering cycles were performed at 400 degrees F. The blade was hand sanded then buffed to an almost mirror finish and sports an exposed tang glass breaker pommel with lanyard hole. For the handle black African Ebony wood scales with white and black spacers are fastened to the knives full tang with stainless and brass loveless bolts. To carry the knife I crafted a tooled black black leather sheath that is set up with movable belt loop for either right or left carry.

SPECS
Blade steel is .2" thick ATS-34 hardened to approximately 60Rc

Blade Length is 5 inches long 1.5 inches wide with a file worked spine.

Overall Length is 10.1 inches long.

Handle is African Black Ebony scales with white and black spacers.

Sheath is tooled black leather

I'll take it. And if you're making another Storm Nessmuk, I'll be looking to try and get that as well.
 
I should probably add that I'm new here, help me proceed to my first wonderous bladeforums purchase. (If I spoke up in time) :p

Welcome! Click on his user name, and then shoot him an email. Kelley is a pleasure to deal with and makes fantastic blades.

This one sure is a beauty too!
 
Hello Fossie, welcome to Blade Forums and thanks for taking the knife. I'm going to mark it sold now. Let me know how you want to pay, paypal is safe and fast but money orders and checks work also. Kelley
 
.........and I thought I was the only one hunting for customs at 3am.....great score Fozzie. Kelly makes great blades.
 
Thank you all! :) Kelley, I tried to send an e-mail on here, but I'm not sure if it worked. I'll send paypal as soon as I figure out my password, and if it's still linked to a valid account (been a long while since I've used it). If that doesn't work, I'll send a check or MO today. Also, YAY! I'm giddy with excitement. :)
 
Okay, I was half right. The info they had was my old address, now it's giving me s&%# about verification problems. Please bear with me.
 
There, sent. Oy pp, why do you toy with me. hahahahaha Unless it's playing with my emotions, payment should be sent to you now. :)
 
Great looking knife @ a great price. Great pics, but I really like to see a pic of knife in hand for reference.
 
Fozzie get that place clean and get some cast iron cookware ya balmy git! You got yourself a proper hard edge to cut up a few salmon steaks now! That blade exudes pure unadulterated sex appeal with a hint of caution before proceeding!

Excellent work Hardedge!
