This custom knife is a MAB Straight back style custom knife, This one was made with the larger hand hunter in mind, There is always tons of knives for the guys with small to medium hands, If you wear an extra large glove Than this one will melt in your hand. The custom knife is made from S30V stainless steel, The knife was hand ground from bar stock, Then polished, oil quenched hardened And tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 59. The knife is 7-3/4″ inches overall with a 3-5/8″ inch blade and 7/8″ inch wide and just under 3/16″ inch thick.. The handle on this one is made from some Honduran rosewood burl with two pieces of stabilized and dyed Giraffe bone spacers, This style of wood has a a tone of burl eyes, all the burls and grain just make your eyes lock onto the handle, Then just take it out into the sunlight to see the depth to the burls that you get. I used three custom brass pins in the handle to show off the rosewood. The knife guard and spacers were made from solid brass bar and sheet stock and shaped to the handle by hand. I also had filed the top of the blade with my “Triple Wave” pattern and the top of the handle in my “Double wave” pattern All done by hand with a chain saw file and a small triangle file. I do not use a dremel tool like some custom knife builders, and then call it file work. So you can see I put a lot of time just in the file work along with the fit and finish on this one to make it a very collectable custom knife, or a good working custom knife. Your custom knife will come with the custom brown leather belt sheath made by Carl Thomas of Mississippi. Your custom knife will also come with a black zip up knife case for storing your custom knife when it’s not in use. All my custom knives come with a hand signed COA and DVD telling more about the knife, when it was made, time spent, and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many lifetimes and would make a great gift for the custom knife collector to admire or for the outdoor person to use in the field and show off to thier friends. $6.00 shipping by priority mail with delivery conformation and insurance.
