nordic knife, made without electricity

[kevin - the professor]

Hello Everyone,
This is the first knife out of my new workshop. The only electricity I used on this one was in the drilling of the fittings. Everything else was hand tools and muscle power.
The blade is 1075, with a vivid hamon. There is a slight medial ridge, with the spine and top bevel left as-forged, though I did wire brush the scale off and pickle with vinegar.
The blade is 6", the handle is 4.5".
Textured brass
bubinga with tung oil finish for handle.
This knife is very thin (especially the handle). It would be very good for use in an outdoor/camping/hiking setting. Of course, it is also just beautiful.
$175 plus shipping. pm me if you are interested.

KtP, Nice beautiful simple looking knife. I know the work you put into it, I think you need to raise the price some. Use electricity as much as you can! It can prolong your knife making.

Ray - glad to hear from you. I got a comment from someone about this knife (George Ezhell) that reminded me of something I said about one of yours several years ago (when I first came across your work). The knife has everything it needs and nothing extra.

thanks.
