    I have two 160mm wa laser(esque) petties for sale.

    Steel - O1 @ Rc60-61

    Handles both have African Blackwood ferrules. One handle is Redwood Burl and the other is Curly Hawaiian Koa. Both handles are slender. The redwood is a tad shorter because it had a not-so-great spot that needed to removed.

    Blade Length - 160mm

    Height (at heel) - 30mm


    Shipping - Buyer pays actual costs


    Price - $250 (not including shipping)
    I would normally charge $295 but these are from my first batch meaning they're sort of prototype(ish) yet they come with full warranty as usual.

    If interested please PM me. Thanks!

    Revisting this thread to say "Dang Dave, the koa petty is absolutely one of the nicest knives I have ever seen, and ever held/ used!"

    And the wife is in total agreement, too!

    You did a super job on the blade and the handle. This one definitely jumped right in and took a 'favorite' spot away from some mighty contenders.

    AWESOME news David! I've been wondering how these little guys worked out, I've been thinking about making some more.

    Definitely would be a good grab for anyone who buys them. There are many pettys in the $200-$250 range, but none that I have seen that can touch one of your handles. In this price range you *may* be able to match the blade, but it will likely only have a $25 handle. It splits time as the go-to with the DT ITK 52100 petty, depending on the task. But it wins hands-down on looks and comfort.
