Here is one I was hoping on keeping for myself but after the purchase of a new grinder at the Guild show yesterday, I need to start recouping that cost.

Pictures aren't the best but it is a very nice knife.

Specs:
.200 Aldo's 1084
16.09" OAL
10.75" blade
2" at its widest, 1.75" at the ricasso
Tapered tang
Ht by maker in my digitally controlled Evenheat kiln
Real light ghost hamon that can barely be seen at the right angle
Cherry scales (from a local furniture maker over toxic green liners)
3 aluminum pins and a stainless tube
Comes with a hand sewn leather sheath by maker (not yet made, please allow two days for sheath work before I can ship)


Asking $SOLD.
Price includes shipping via USPS Priority Mail to all 50 states with delivery confirmation, others can contact for additional shipping charges
I accept Paypal, money order, or check. Paypal preferred to chrisberry2008@aol.com.

First, "I'll take it," gets it.

Feel free to email any questions/comments to chrisberry2008@aol.com.

Thanks for Looking
Big Chris

Nice blade Chris! You say hamon, so it was differentially heat treated (with clay)??
Also it looks like there is a slight recurve in the blade or is the edge just getting wider towards the tip?
Thanks, Andy

Andy-
No, I did not use clay. I was very surprised to see the hamon after finishing with the scotch brite belt. 1084 is not supposed to make a hamon easily that is why it surprised me. It is possible it could come out with some etching but I am not set up to etch so I just left it alone but thought that it was worth mentioning for people who like that sort of thing.
There is a very slight recurve but I think most of it is from the blade widening.
