I've got a little wiggle room on this one so lets do 210.00 shipped in the USA.

Here is a smaller bowie style blade I made. It would make a good boot knife or for everyday carry which is the style sheath I made for the knife. This one is light, quick, and scary sharp. The wood is some wicked Desert Ironwood burl that my pictures truly do not show all the detail they have. Here are the specs:

Steel- 52100 X .135 at the ricasso
OAL- 10 1/8 inches.
HT- In house with 3 normalizing heats, double quenched, and three 2 hour temper cycles
Grind- Flat with unshapened top swedge. The top swedge can be sharpened for approximately 2 1/2 inches
Finish- hand sanded to 2000 grit
Blade- 5 1/4 inches and is razor sharp!!
handle- 4 7/8 inches
Wood- Outstanding Desert Ironwood Burl
Spacers- Black G10
Guard- Brass
Sheath- RH handsewn and tooled
Asking- 235.00 shipped in the USA or Canada
Paypal, USPS M/O, or Certified Check preferred. Email for other options
Questions or comments welcomed
Thanks for looking

I don't understand why this one is still here! It's a knockout. I'll be so glad to get all my shop toys bought so I can get back to buying blades like this!
 
No pin, epoxy was used to secure the handle. I use Hardmans epoweld 24hr epoxy that is manufactured by Elements Performance Polymers. It was designed for excellent shear and adhesion. One of its primary uses is for golf clubs . The handle is not coming off in one piece
 
This one is not going any cheaper, Ill just put it away for a show if it doesn't sell at this price. Ironwood burl like this is expensive
