Small file knife, camp / skinner SOLD

EDIT: SOLD!

Nicholson single cut @@@@@@@ (the bad word was fixed i guess?!?) file, full convex grind, heat treated by me (heated to beyond magnetic, vegetable oil quenched and tempered twice at 450 degrees F), OD green linen Micarta, white .060 G10 spacers, brass pin and tube. Finished with a coating of Briwax to preserve the steel.

The blade is 3 inches long, just under 1 inch tall and 1/8 thick at the spine. The short 3 and 1/4 inch handle provides a comfortable 3 finger grip.

I have not made a sheath for this knife yet, but I am capable of doing so. I make leather sheaths. They are not ornamental, they are functional. They are not "pretty" but hold up very well under working conditions. I can provide pics of my work. With the knife purchase, I can do the basic bushcraft style sheath for an extra 15$. It will be a little more if you want extras such as metal clips, molded / hardened leather or retention screws.

$100 includes shipping to the lower 48 United States. I do not ship overseas.

I read your intro and came here to view your work. Look at the gallery section and study the profiles of some knives. Try drawing them on paper. A Mastersmith, Jason Knight, told me that a sure way to improve my work was to draw a lot of profiles. I draw every knife I make and make a wood template of all my keeper designs. I have 2 years worth of drawings in numerous notebooks. About 10% of the first years drawings were useful. Today 95% are.

Remember the more you make, the better you will get!
