Hello,
Thanks for checking out my sales thread.
I had this bar of Alabama damascus around for several years before finally it spoke to me.
I radiused the handle and left it without scales. I think it looks good this way and I will sell it as is.
Functionally it works great in pinch grip or racket. It only gets uncomfortable if you are doing a lot of cutting at once.
I can make an inset type of handle scales at additional cost if someone is really into it.
Steel is composed of 5160, 15n20, Ni200 IIRC.
1/8" stock. Hardened and tempered by me. About rc60-62.
I ground matching hollows on both sides of the blade. The bevels are convex ground, the edge is around 15 degree inclusive.
I am asking $385 shipped CONUS. Please let me know if you have any questions.
