Good Day,
I am trying to find the sweet spot for you all, here in the For Sale Makers Fixed Blades section...
And in an effort to do that, I am listing my Trail Series...
The whole point of these to offer some useful steel at an affordable price.
In order to do that, I use full grain extra heavy oak tanned leather for the handles. I then bond the handles to the tang and secure them with Copper Harness Rivets. Then the leather handles are stained, sealed w/ drying oil like a gunstock, and finished with multiple coats of wax. This is the same for all the of the knives in this series.
Trail Series Neck Knife
6 3/4 inch overall, 3 1/4 inch blade
Hand-Forged 1/8th inch 1095 High Carbon Steel w/ Blue Gray Finish.
Trail Series Neck Knife w/o sheath $50.
One of my Custom Leather Sheaths is available, additionally. Or, for something a bit more affordable, my apprentice can make you a Custom Concealex Sheath, and you can see his work at http://marioncarry.blogspot.com/. To simplify things, you can purchase his work from me, when you make your purchase of the knife. And there are no extra shipping fees.
Trail Series Camp Knife
10 3/4 inches overall, 6 1/4 inch blade.
Hand-Forged 3/16ths inch 5160 High Carbon Steel w/ Blue Gray Finish.
Also, I make a handle for this knife, to turn it into a draw knife....
Trail Series Camp Knife w/o Draw Knife Handle or sheath, $120
Trail Series Camp Knife & Draw Knife Handle, w/o sheath, $185

Trail Series Large Heavy Golock or Trail Knife
17 inches overall, 11 inch blade.
Hand-Forged 1/4 inch 5160 High Carbon Steel w/ Rounded Spine and Blue Gray Finish.
Additionally, as this is a Large Heavy Knife designed to be used at Full Swing, a extra wedge of leather is added to give the handle a flare at the butt of the knife, to keep it in your hand. You can see that wedge in this comparison image.
