    Stats

    Length - 270mm

    Height (at heel) - 43mm

    Steel - O1

    Hardness - Rc60-61

    Handle Style - Wa (oval)

    Handle Materials - Hawaiian Koa, nickel silver ferrule/bolster (soldered!) & spacer


    The koa isn't the flashiest I've seen however it's got more going on than I can describe. I did my best to capture all of the character and different looks it's giving off.

    Ferrule/bolster is soldered on for a clean look. [​IMG]

    *Note - There is one blemish on the blade (right side - near maker's mark) that I want to point out for full disclosure. This happened from acid used in applying the mark. It's not very deep but is deep enough that I'm not going to attempt to sand it out and mess up the knife. See the attached picture that shows the blue oval to see this blemish.


    Price - $625 (shipping included to USA - international to pay actual costs)

    If you're interested in purchasing this knife please contact via PM or email along with your Paypal email address (for the invoice). If international, please specify country.

    Thanks for looking!

    Dave
