Greetings everyone! Here’s my new Tombstone Marauder for your consideration.
Ground from a 3/16”” x 2” Billet in 52100 with professional HT at 60/61. Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a reflective satin finish. The flats are also 1200 grit and have some mill finish remnants for contrast. Finished dimensions are 12 1/2” overall, 7 1/2” tip to guard and about 1 7/8” tall at the harpoon.
Edge before sharpening was .010” and it is extremely sharp. Balance is behind my mark. The deep swedge is also near sharp at .010” +\- down the full length.
The guard is made from 416 SS and brass with red n black thin fiber spacers. It's finished to 1200 grit and polished.
A beautiful red Padauk/Wenge frame handle is finished to 1200 grit with a 3/32” stainless pin. The handle feels great in my average size hand. Finished with multiple coats of Danish oil and carnauba wax. Sheath is a pretty snug fit with great retention even without the strap yet easy to deploy.
This is a very affordable beast of a knife at only $235 to your door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM. I can email the full resolution photos as well.
