This Item Is No Longer For Sale
#1:
Blade: 5 5/16"
Handle: 4 3/4"
Thickness Right In Front Of Plunge Line: .169"
Thickness in Ricasso: .188"
Steel: D2
Heat Treat: Paul Bos for 61 RC
Handle: Black paper micarta, stabilized spalted maple stabilized by K & G, G/Flex epoxy, brass fixtures. The front fastener on the handle is a pin, the other two fasteners are corbys.
The little black holes are worm holes that are (imperfectly) filled with superglue.
There are some minor cosmetic issues: the plunge lines are not perfect and there is a spot of haziness in the finish, right at the front of that brass pin, on the right-hand side of the handle. I think you can see it in the pictures.
Also, according to feedback I have gotten, the front part of handle is kind of thin for pushing through hard material.
White spots on the bevel are lint.
Dangle strap:
The bevels came out really nice:
Sheath of 10 oz Hermann Oak leather, one side lined with calfskin:
