W2 and ironwood camp knife

[Phillip Patton]

I just sold this one yesterday, and I thought I'd post it here for your viewing pleasure.

Steel: W2

Hardness: 59-60

Blade length: 7"

Total length: 12-1/4"

Blade thickness: 1/4"

Handle material: Desert Ironwood


This was going to be one of my 5 JS knives, but the wood cracked slightly when I put the lanyard tubing in. I pressed out the tubing, and superglued the crack shut, but it's still visible. So I'm selling it here at a reduced price, with the understanding that it's a user, not a safe queen.

Sorry for the glare in the photos....

The corners of the spine are nicely radiused:

Beauty. Where your guard meets the handle material looks to be done very well It can be a pain sometimes eh?

MIke.

Very nice, sir! Where are you getting your ironwood?

Right now I'm getting it from Sheffield, but I hope to get a bunch at the Blade show. I like to pick it myself....
