This was hand-made, and the spines and ricassos are not perfectly smooth. The imperfections are visible in the pictures. Nevertheless, this one turned out nicer than many that I have made in the past. I hate to part with it.

Blade Length: 4 7/16"
Handle Length: 4 3/4"
Overall Length: 9 3/16"
Spine thickness: ~.171"
Steel: 154CM, heat treated by Peters', 61 HRC
Knife weight: 8.2 oz.
Sheath weight: 2.9 oz.

Handle: Camo Richlite, chili red canvas phenolic liners, stainless pins and tube, G-Flex epoxy. I up-sized the handle to work better with a larger hand. It is also contoured for comfort and versatility.

Balance point is just behind the front pin.

I am asking $135 $115, which includes Priority Shipping in USA. The first "I'll take it" gets it. Any questions, please feel free to ask, and thank you for looking.

Thank you Scott. That means a lot coming from you.

I just have doubts about the weight of the handle. It is practically indestructible, but because of the density of the phenolics, it also weighs a lot. However... if I remove material from the handle, people will say, "I have big hands, and I want a handle that fills my hand."

Maybe consider two things one is taper the tang the other drill skeleton holes in the tang, that might work.

How much does it weigh? I had a Benchmade 162, which I gave to my daughter, because she liked it so much. I am interested.

Thank you for your interest. The knife itself is 8.2 oz. Add the sheath and the whole package is 11.1 oz. The Benchmade 162 weighs 7.7 oz., and with the OEM leather sheath is 10.4 oz.

If you don’t have PayPal, you must deliver cash in person to a friend of mine who is house sitting somewhere in Italy. First go to the US embassy in Rome. Ask for Craig Woodruff. Tell the receptionist Giacomo sent you. Mr Woodruff will come down to the lobby and say, “You must be Ugly Yellow Cat.” Simply nod your head and follow him into the elevator and upstairs. You will be asked for a password, which is “libel perspicacious orca.” You will then receive further instructions. Good luck!
 
That's funny stuff...libel perspicacious orca? Oh yeah, what does spm mean?
