THIS IS ANOTHER CUSTOM MAB 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 5-3/4″ INCHES OVERALL WITH A 2-3/4″ INCH BLADE 1/8″ THICK, 1/2″ 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 GIRAFFE BONE THAT HAVE BEEN HAND SANDED TO 1200 GRIT BEFORE IT HIT THE BUFFER FOR A FINAL SHINE… THE HANDLE FITS PERFECT IN YOUR HAND, 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 BLADE WITH MY THORN PATTERN AND THE HANDLE IN 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 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 HUNTER THAT SHOULD HAVE THE VERY BEST. SHIPPING INSIDE THE USA IS $6.00 FOR PRIORITY MAIL WITH SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION.. SORRY NO INTERNATIONAL SALES
