This knife is a cracker and i considered keeping it for myself. However i think that someone here would likely use it a lot more than me so will put it up for sale.:|
The blade is a dual design by Stuart Mitchell and myself, i drew it, he tweaked it, i changed it etc. it is made of 4 mm O1 with a tapered tang. The blade is a touch over 4" long and around 26-28 mm deep. I can get accurate measurements if you would like them.
The blade itself is slightly hollow ground and is extremely sharp.:O
It is furnished with top quality york gum burl, 4 identical mosaic pins and a brass lined lanyard hole. The wood is finished to 2000 grit paper and treated with junkers rustic oil and black bison wax.
The sheath is a hand sewn and finished vegg tanned sheath( right handed ) made with 3 mm leather, it is wet moulded to this knife and is very secure. I have coated the blade section on the inside of the sheath with leather fat to aid water resistancy and this has beed further sealed with a weak solution of shellack.
This blade is marked with M*B010 as it was the tenth design stuart and i liked best.. the other numbers from 1 -10 are reserved for another project;)
I am looking for £145 for this knife ( excluding paypal fees) postage is encluded in the price.
The knife will be shipped withing 2 days of payment.
