Once again trying to keep my collection down to a manageable level. (but I keep buying them anyway. ) So I have a couple of good once to offer up. All of them have gotten a new outfit, and I am very pleased with my work on all of them, which has made it hard to part with them.
210 Kearu SLD
These are pretty popular starting knives and it is easy to see why. They have good geometry and more distal taper than you would expect in such an inexpensive knife. I have used it sparingly as a line knife and it fulfulled the role very serviceably. It was rough around the edge when I first got it, literally, so I rounded the spine and choil. The handle is contructed of red mallee burl with an amboyna burl and g10 spacers. The saya is cut out of walnut, with an inlay of the handle materials.
Weight - 169
Length - 210
Height - 44
Spine - 3.5
Looking for $190 shipped in the US including PayPal fees. (yeah, that is more than they cost, but I really did do a lot of work on this. Hope I won't be branded a flipper )
Kemadi 225 Monosteel bulat
This is a produce destroyer, a thick spined beast of a knife. When I bought it, it was the first time I broke the $400 price point, and wanted to save money. Unfortunately, I should have gotten the 255. The length is sort of a tweener for me. I like less than 210 on the line and more than 230 for prep. Because of the size, it has been used sparingly. Because of the outstanding edge retention, I only sharpened once on a mid grit synth. Really restored quickly! Banding on this bulat as really freaking cool also. The handle is stabilized sindora burl and some stabilized brown wood that I got at woodcraft. The spacer is brass and white g10. The main saya body is cut from walnut, with an inlay of sindora from the same block of wood.
Length - 227
Weight - 281
Height - 51
Spine - 3.7
Paid $425 new from Kev, Looking for $400 shipped in the ConUS SOLD
Two Sticks 240 Stainless Class AS
I really enjoy this knife. Two Sticks does a great job on AS and this profile is a push/draw cutter's dream. I was really on the fence about selling this, but my denkas have pretty much locked up th mid weight AS slot in my rotation. Time to let someone else enjoy her. I did the handle out of stabilized curly maple with a sycamore and red/white g10. The saya is spalted sycamore with a splash of curly maple and red g10.
Length - 245
Weight - 213
Height - 54
Spine - 3.5
Asking $275 which includes PP and shipping in the ConUS SOLD
