Clearing house of some older work.

All of these knives are basically identical except the handle colours. Two of them are older and have pointy heels and straight handles, , one is a transitional model with a radiused heel but no taper, and two of them are my final rendition of this pattern and have rounded heels and tapered handles.


  • W2 tempered to approximately 64 hrc with drawn spines and tangs.
  • ~2" x 8.5" and 13" overall
  • Pinned and epoxied resin scales
  • 600 grit finished blades
  • radiused and polished spines and choils
  • Flat/convex ground to zero before sharpening
  • 303 SS pins
  • All weigh between 165 grams and 180 grams averaging in the 170's



First up Orange/Silver, this is the oldest of the bunch.

The spine tapers from 1/8" (3.2mm) thick at the tang down to approximately .055" (1.4mm) at the halfway point, to .035" (.88mm) 1/2" 12.7mm) behind the tip.

Asking $220 $180 U.S shipping included.

This one has a tapered handle and I designed it to be a little narrower than the others. I geared this knife towards a smaller set of hands

Gold glitter on black

The scales on this knife are clear resin with black backed gold glitter. This handle too is tapered. I confess I had a much harder time getting the 303 SS pins to a flush fit with this stuff, the clear resin is softer than the dyed stuff it seems. As a result there is a slight but noticeable depression around some of the pins, and while blended and buffed I still count it as a flaw. What isn't obvious in these pictures though I tried to capture it with the low light ones, in the holographic refection of the glitter flecks on the polished surface of the scales as you move it in the light.

Asking $230 $190 U.S shipping included
