Two Bird and Trouts

Before I get into the details of these knives, I want to say that, although I haven't posted on this sub forum much (only once), I am far from being a new maker. I've been making knives for four years, gradually obtaining better fit and finish and refining my products form and function. Only now do I feel my product is comparable to the many fine looking blades on this forum and ready to be sold on this site. Thank you for taking a look, I hope you like what you see!

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

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 $325 (plus $7.50 shipping CONUS).

I apologize, the picture quality isn't great. All I gave to work with is my phone. If there are any questions or you want more pictures, I would be happy to help.

Thank you for looking!

Thank you for the compliment, I like this finish too. My name is signed in the spine if the blade using a pantograph with a diamond tip. It is hard to get a picture of it, but I'll get a picture if it up for you shortly. I like the sterile look not having a big makers mark on it gives. Having my name signed discreetly on the spine (IMO) fits the overall asthetic of the knife.
