Just finished these two.......
Prices include Con U.S. shipping
Leather is from Ray at Wild Boar Blades. Both these knives will reverse in the sheath,so they work for right or left side vertical belt carry. The Ripper belt loop is sewn flat so the whole deal remains rather flat for in pocket or down your boot if you're into that. Belt loops are double sewn. Nice heavy leather,dyed & tooled. Nice fit.
First up,a "Ripper" in birdseye something or other ? Sugar Gum ? Or Sycamore ? I dunno,not sure,but it's great looking,and bookmatched too. I was not sure if it is stabilized so I put an epoxy finish coat on the outside of the wood before finishing it out.It is real tight for this type of grain,I took some zoom in shots & they show it.The blade is a Russell Green River & I think these are 1095 carbon,forged & flat grind. I then put my own hand rubbed finish on it. It's thin stock 1/16" thick and really getrs crazy screaming slicer sharp. The pins are 1/8" nickel.OAL is 8.25" with 4" of cutting edge.
