Wild looking maple handle - like Ren's son Andrew's knife

[richard j]

The handle on this knife is some that i stabilized and has one wild looking pattern to it. I had to cut a 15/16" piece in half and this is what was inside. the blade is 6" long, chisel ground and edge hardened. the overall length is 11 1/8". sorry but it does not come with a sheath. i am asking $175. for this one.

i decided to try something new today when i sharpened this one for the first time. instead of just sharpening the left side only, i decided to put a slight convex edge on both sides. the edge turned out pretty good.

That is one good looker, how long is the handle?

 

[richard j]

i was wondering if i forgot to add something. the wood measures 4 5/16" and the thickness is 1" in the middle. thanks for asking
(thanks esav for the editing job)

i'll ship it free to chuddybear for a sheath since ken c just told me he is taking a few months off.

Richard,

Is that a Hamon I see in the blade? Nice looking piece! :thumbup::thumbup:

yes it is pohan. i have a friend heat the edge with a torch while i watch the color. i try to get the edge around 60rc-65rc. the edge seem to hold up extremely well like i was telling you.

price drop on this one since i need $$$ to ship the auction knives for vg around. $150.

 

[richard j]

i'm putting this knife on hold. someone is interested in it.
