GIRAFFE BONE MARROW WITH ORANGE RESIN HANDLE 52100 BEARING STEEL DROP POINT BLADE FILE WORKED

This custom 52100 Bearing steel hunting knife is made by me, Mark Buzzell (MAB), right here in Maine. This great looking knife is 8-1/8 inches overall with a 4 inch blade with a 3-1/2″ inch cutting edge. by just under 3/16 inch thick and 1-3/16″ inch wide, The knife grind is a soft Hollow grind to help keep a sharp edge, The knife blade is marked with my MAB logo as the maker of this fine knife. This knife was made from a bar stock 52100 bearing steel billet. The knife billets are shaped, ground, polished, oil quenched hardened and tempered to rockwell 59, then given one final polish. The handle on this one is made from Two Cape Buffalo Bone dyed and stabilized spacers and Giraffe Bone Marrow mixed with light Orange resin filler your handle will come alive outside in the sun with tons of colors and shapes in the marrow, what a great looking one of a kind this stuff makes. The finger grove with the sweep help the handle melt into your hand for a super fit. The knife handle is made for the hunter with a medium to large hand, The knife guard and the spacers and pommel were made from solid Nickle and aluminum bar and sheet stock and shaped to the handle by hand. I then hand filed the top of the blade with my “Walking Lizard” 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 collectible piece, or a good working knife. Knife is a rat tang construction with a corby nut in the end so it will hold up in the field. Your knife will come with the custom brown leather belt sheath made by Carl Thomas, 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’s 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 knife collector that thought they had everything. $6.00 shipping by priority mail with delivery conformation and insurance.
