Bird and Trouts
These blades are the first two of a batch of 25 knives cut from Aldo's .110" Nitro-V. These have all been heat treated to 61 HRC and hand sanded to 800 grit. The spine has been rounded significantly and it is extremely comfortable.

Specifications-
  • .110" Nitro-V @ 61HRC
  • West Systems G-Flex epoxy
  • Stainless corby bolts used
  • Thickness behind the edge is ~.005"
  • OAL is 8 3/8"
  • Blade length is a touch under 4"
  • 1 1/8" tall at the start of the edge
  • Weight reduction holes in the tang
  • My signature is engraved neatly on the spine
I have two blades currently available, the first being made with Curly Hawaiian Koa stabilized by K&G. The second being made of Mexican Kingwood. Both handle materials where purchased from @Greenberg Woods.

Custom sheathes come with each knife. These were made from a good friend of mine, Brett Smith of T-Star Leather in Oklahoma. He does phenomenal work, the sheathes are just beautiful!

Price is $300 each (plus $7.50 shipping CONUS).

Much like the two blades I just posted in the Fixed blade sub forum, This knife is one of 25 I had cut from Aldo's .110" Nitro-V. This has been heat treated by Paul Farned at Paul Bos heat treat to 63 HRC.

Specifications-
  • .110" NITRO-V @ 63 HRC
  • .005" behind the edge
  • All edges on the blade are rounded over fro comfort
  • Finished to 800 grit
  • OAL is 9 3/8"
  • Blade is 4 3/8"
  • 1 3/8" tall at the start of the edge
Handle is made of African Blackwood, Copper, and stabilized Ipe Burl. All wood was sourced from @Greenberg Woods . There are two brass locator pins running between all three handle materials, and it is all held together with West Systems G-Flex epoxy.

I have not made a saya for this knife. Unless requested, it sells as is without a saya.
