The Wharncliffe style blade is such a pure CUTTER, that I decided to make this one a true working art knife. There's elements of pure function, and also some high end design incorporated into this one.
The blade is an "Urban Seax" which is a fairly popular style of Wharncliffe. Made by Gene Martin, out of ATS34 Stainless. It's 7.5" overall, 3" cutting edge, 1 1/8 deep at the riccasso, 5/32 wide at the spine. The style cuts what it touches and has the backbone to split firewood!
The Grip is bolstered and Butted with Micarta, spaced with grey carbon, and segmented with CA sealed Black Palm. The main center sections are Musk Ox Horn! The Port side is nice and pure, the Starbord side has some character. It's pinned 4 times with peened nickle silver, once with peened mosaic stainless, and grommeted with a flared silver tube.
Fully topically sealed, oiled, and buffed.
Comes with a form fitted saddle brown leather sheath, right hip or pack.
Handles beaturifully, and like I said, this thing CUTS!
Here's some pics....
The blade and materials incorporated in this knife are NOT CHEAP. But since I wanted this to be a working knife, I'm going to try to price it, well, cheap.
I need $180 delivered for this package. (That's not making wages, just material costs and a tip!)
Thanks guys! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
