I am calling this one a Gambler's Fighter... though some others have referred to it as a mini-Bowie.
This blade, for its size, is quite thick at the guard at 0.23". Compensating for this is a fairly significant distal taper, giving the knife a balanced feel with a bit of substance. The blade emerged from some of Aldo's W2, was differentially heat-treated and left with a working finish; while the handle is a lovely piece of Mark's African Blackwood.
The price for this one is $350 shipped within the US. Please contact me concerning shipping outside the US. Buyer is responsible for determining the legality of this knife within their state or country of residence. I prefer payment via Paypal. If interested -- or if you just have some questions or comments -- feel free to shoot me a PM or email. My goal is 100% satisfaction; so if for any reason the buyer is not happy with this knife, please ship it back undamaged within 30-days and I'll send a full refund.
Some Stats:
Length: 11-1/16"
Blade: 5-13/16" (Tip to ricasso), 0.23" thick at the guard
Weight: 238g
Steel: Differentially Heat-Treated W2
Handle: African Blackwood (Burl Source) w/ domed 416ss pin
Fittings: 416ss with coined G10 spacer
Again, please feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
