This is my first knife made on American soil.
The blade is 7-5/8" long and 1/4 thick near the bolster. Made from A2 steel. HT, cryo and tempering by Paul Bos. Satin finish.
Flat ground with false spine edge. Design on both sides is hand drawn and deep etched. There are several pinhole dents\marks left on the blade from etching.
Bolster in nickel-silver, soldered and hand engraved in simple manner. Some selective blueing to make it more contrast.
Handle is Black Walnut, completely saturated with lineseed oil, cured and polished with Carnauba Wax.
The decorative pommel nut is screwed on the tang; hand engraved and blued stainless steel.
Leather sheath is hand fit by size and design and hand sewed. The knife in the sheath looks more ascetic than when taken out. Sheath has right hand belt loop.
The price is $375 SOLD shipped CONUS
 
I would like to buy the knife from you. But I need to know two things first.

How do you take payment (Paypal, personal check; are you located in the US?)

What does "KOA" mean?

Thanks,
Thor
 
It was in the maker's gallery for a day or two. I thought it would sell quickly.

That worked out for both knifemaker and now buyer/owner Thor!

That knife and sheath could have been used for the Lord of the Rings movies!
 
Dmitry,

I did not receive your email. The email I sent you got rejected. I am not sure what to do next. Please try to email me once more using the forum feature (click on my username on this post then choose "Send email to Thor I am").

Thanks,
Thor
 
I just realized that your email address as listed on your website is different than the one that was automatically used by Bladeforums.

I just tried another email, this time to your website's email address.
 
Dmitry,

I am all out of ideas. My email to your other email address also got rejected.
Let me know what you want to try next.

Thanks,
Thor
 
Absolutely stunning--a true work of functional art. I think I actually heard music come up when I found this thread a few minutes ago...

(From website) "This knife is One-Of-A-Kind hand made piece and I guarantee that no copies will be made."

Very neat for the lucky owner but a real shame for those of us poor saps who decided to work late this evening. I always knew having a job was a bad idea. :(


Keep 'em coming and grats Thor!
 
Ok. It is not the best way, but this is my address(replace doggy stuff with @).
dmitry(the doggy sign)smig(dot)net
I sent you E-mail also, did you get it?
Dmitry
 
If you keep offering them at that price, I might be able to get one sooner rather than later.
 
Dmitry,

That is the email address I tried the second time. No luck. I also did not get any email from you.
This is truly bizarre. I have never had this problem before.
 
Might be time to utilize the private messaging system. Last time I tried it, it was working again, which is no guarantee of anything...
 
Yes it is. I got few E-mails from this tread from other people with no problems.
Do you have any other E-mail?
Or try to send "test" message to that one - dmitry.m66"you know what"dot-mail-dot-ru.
I did not have anything like that too. Finally I can call you, if nothing will work.
