Asking SOLD, via PayPal G&S (I will provide my PayPal email address via private message), which includes expedited shipping, tracking and insurance. First "I'll take it" followed by prompt communication gets priority.
This large knife combines a seax style blade, having in fact a very slight hawkbillesque recurve, with a large barong style handle for a versatile and very secure grip.
The balance point of the knife is about 1 inch past the handle, and the long handle accommodates grip close to the cutting edge for speed and agility, gripping farther back, secured by the pinky hook, for increased chopping power, or anywhere in between for a balance between the two.
It comes in a white .08" Kydex Sheath with paracord set up to accommodate any type of belt carry. This can be modified by the user to attach to a pack, vehcile, or anything else.
I made the blank using 3/16" 1084 from New Jersey Steel Baron, and because my forge is only large enough to handle small blades, I hired celebrated local blacksmith Andy Pomorski, who to date has heat treated all my carbon steel blades larger than 20" overall, and with great results. I had him heat treat and temper this piece for 57-58 HRC.
19 3/4" overall
13" blade
26.5 oz, or 33.4 in the sheath
Coarse Peel Ply G10 handle, carbon fibre tube attachments, accommodates lanyard if desired (though handle design surely doesn't need one!)
This is a very strong, capable and confidence inspiring tool for any woods excursion.
Thanks for looking!
