So, managed to be just into the next tax bracket, which means that we owe the gubmint. In order to help pay for that, I'm listing up some blades at or below cost. All prices are shipped CONUS via USPS Priority mail. NO PAYPAL.
First up is a khukuri in Aldo's 1095 steel. It is 15.75" OAL, with a 10.5" blade. Heat treated professionally by Tru Grit. Handle scales are blue-dyed stabilized Oregon maple burl from Burl Source, 4 steel pins. Comes with a kydex sheath. discounting this one by $70, asking $180 shipped.
Handle:
Second I have a camp knife. Aldo's 52100 steel, 1/8" thick, 10" blade with 9.25" cutting edge, 15" OAL. Bubinga handle scales. Slight blemish from a beetle or something that was a flaw in the board. Very fast in hand. I'll offer it at $100 shipped CONUS as is, no sheath, or $135 shipped with leather sheath.
Next I've got a lovely Persian, in Aldo's 1095. This one was heat treated by Darrin Sanders. It was differentially heat treated, but I seem to lack the skill to get a hamon to show, or something. Green dyed curly maple handle scales. 11.25" OAL, 6" blade. I really like this one. $110 shipped with no sheath, $145 with leather sheath.
And, a smaller persian, bocote handle scales, Aldo's 1095, heat treated by Darrin Sanders. 9" OAL, 4.5" blade. Asking what it cost me to make: $75 shipped, no sheath. $100 with leather sheath.
If anyone wants multiple, I'll throw in a shipping discount. If you want a sheath for the ones that aren't pictured, there will be a slight delay so I can make them. Payment via cash/check/MO or online through Amazon Payments (free to sign up last I checked). NO PAYPAL.
