Hello folks, I need to stop making knives with these light colored handles . I have a hard time getting the beauty of them photographed with my limit skills .
The handle scales on this knife are Fossil Walrus Ivory . About 80 percent is the marble interior secondary Dentine with the rest being the solid white primary dentine . You will find a couple of small surface cracks common with this material so I have sealed and treated the scales to 5 coats of thin CA. glue and then brought up to a high polish .
In a couple of pics I tried to capture the marble texture . Now for specs .
Steel is 5/32" ATS-34 , heat treated in my shop to an Rc. 60-61 .
O.A.L is 6-3/4"
Blade is 2-7/8" tip to handle and 7/8" wide edge to spine . It is hollow ground with a scotchbright belt satin finish .
Sharpened edge is at 2-5/8"
Handle is Fossil Walrus Ivory with Red and White Liners and Mosaic pins.
Sheath is right or left hand carry , 9 oz leather .
SOLD
$265.00 includes the shipping in the USA , international friends write for cost please . Pay-pal or Postal M/O.
My PP is sugarland@wwest.net .
Hope you all like it and thank you for looking. View attachment 405265View attachment 405266View attachment 405267View attachment 405268View attachment 405269
