THIS IS ANOTHER CUSTOM MAB MINI BIRD TROUT STYLE HUNTING KNIFE MADE FROM A HIGH CARBON STEEL (OLD NICHOLSON USA FILE) BY ME, MARK BUZZELL (MAB), RIGHT HERE IN MAINE. I ANNEALED, GROUND THEN HEAT TREATED THIS ONE ALL RIGHT HERE IN THE SHOP… THIS LITTLE HUNTER IS 5-1/8″ INCHES OVERALL WITH A 2-1/4″ INCH BLADE 1/8″ THICK, 7/16″ INCH WIDE WITH A 58 TO 59 ROCKWELL HARDNESS. THE BLADE HAS BEEN HAND SANDED TO 2000 GRIT AND THEN POLISHED TO A MIRROR FINISH.. THE HANDLE IS MADE FROM SOME VERY NICE STABILIZED ZEBRA WOOD. THE HANDLE FITS PERFECT IN YOUR HAND FOR A MINI, THE SHAPE MAKES IT FIT NICE AND SNUG. KNIFE IS A FULL TANG CONSTRUCTION, SO IT WILL HOLD UP WHEN YOUR USING IT IN THE FIELD. I ALSO HAND FILED THE TOP OF THE KNIFE HANDLE WITH MY “VINE” PATTERN. ALL MY FILE WORK IS DONE BY HAND WITH A CHAINSAW FILE AND A SMALL TRIANGLE FILE. (NOT WITH A DREMEL LIKE SOME BUILDERS CALL FILE WORKED), KNIFE IS STAMPED WITH MY MAB LOGO AS THE MAKER OF THIS FINE KNIFE… SO YOU CAN SEE I PUT A LOT OF TIME JUST INTO THE FILE WORK ALONG WITH THE FIT AND FINISH ON ALL MY KNIVES TO MAKE THEM A VERY COLLECTIBLE PIECE, OR A GOOD WORKING KNIFE. YOUR KNIFE WILL COME WITH THE CUSTOM LEATHER SHEATH MADE BY CARL THOMAS OF MISSISSIPPI TO FIT YOUR KNIFE NICE AND SNUG, KNIFE WILL ALSO SHIP WITH A ZIP UP KNIFE CASE FOR STORING YOUR CUSTOM KNIFE WHEN ITS 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 LIFE TIMES AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT KNIFE FOR THE PERSON THAT SHOULD HAVE THE VERY BEST. SHIPPING INSIDE THE USA IS $6.00 FOR PRIORITY MAIL WITH SIGNATURE CONFORMATION AND INSURANCE. SORRY NO INTERNATIONAL SALES.
