THESE TWO KNIVES ARE FORGED FROM A PIECE OF HIGH CARBON BANDMILL BLADE FROM THE JOHNSON LUMBER COMPANY SAW MILL HERE IN VERMONT, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY CLOSED THIS YEAR AFTER OVER 70 YEARS IN BUSINESS....I ONLY HAVE A SMALL PIECE OF THIS STEEL AND IT HAS AN INCREDIBLY HIGH CARBON CONTENT THAT WILL HOLD A GREAT EDGE, ALONG WITH BEING FLEXIBLE AT ABOUT 3/32" THICK.
THESE KNIVES ARE SOMEWHAT LARGER THAN MY STANDARD BIRD & TROUT PATTERN KNIFE.
APPROXIMATELY 8" OVERALL WITH A 4" X 1" DEEP BLADE THAT TAPERS TO A FINE POINT FOR VERY DETAILED CUTTING.
THESE ARE PERFECT FOR THE HUNTER OR FISHERMAN AND WOULD WORK JUST AS WELL IN THE KITCHEN AS A STEAK OR PARING KNIFE.
FOR THE MUZZLE LOADER HUNTERS THESE ARE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR TRIMMING THE PATCH WHEN LOADING YOUR RIFLE.
THE HANDLES ARE MADE FROM AN OUTSTANDING RESERVED PIECE OF HIGHLY FIGURED GUNSTOCK TIGER MAPLE WOOD WITH A TRADITIONAL BIRDS BEAK PROFILE. ALONG WITH BRASS PINS AND LANYARD HOLE WITH LEATHER LANYARD.
I HAND FORGED AS I DO WITH ALL OF MY KNIVES, IN MY VERMONT BLACKSMITH SHOP.
THE SHEATH IS MADE FROM 9/10 OZ LEATHER THAT IS DOUBLE STITCHED WITH A FULL WELT AND COPPER SADDLE MAKERS RIVETS AT ALL CRITICAL STRESS POINTS. WATERPROOFED, SIGNED AND DATED.
ACID ETCHING ALONG WITH DISTINCTIVE FORGING MARKS ARE LEFT TO SHOW THESE KNIVES ARE HANDMADE AND HAVE A NATURAL AGED APPEARANCE.
ALL OF MY KNIVES COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. IF THERE IS EVER A PROBLEM I WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE IT FOR FREE. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ABUSE OR NEGLECT OF THE KNIFE, OR OTHER USE THAN WHAT IT IS INTENDED FOR.
THIS PRICE IS FOR ONE KNIFE....FIREARM NOT INCLUDED
