Ahoy there, I struggled with naming the style, it's Persian-esque I suppose but finally realized it looked like a whale tooth. It's in .19" 440C professional heat treat to 59/60.

Dimensions: 9.5" with a 5" blade and 1 7/8" tall

Bevels finished to a satin 1500 grit for a highly reflective finish.

The scales are Granadillo with thin black liner and 3/16" brass pins, finished with multiple coats of Danish Oil and Carnauba Wax. I think the brass looks real good next to the reddish hardwood. I hope you do too!

Edge before sharpening was in the .015” range and the blade glides through phone book paper, leather, rope etc.

Handmade, tooled and lined sheath, wet molded for a snug fit. The knife inserts just past the middle pin.

Asking only one twenty five via paypal, check or MO. This will be posted elsewhere so the first time stamp prevails. Questions and comments welcome, and of course your satisfaction is my top priority.
