This is another custom MAB Scandi grind drop point sandvik style hunting knife made from a carbon tool steel billet, Old file, By me Mark Buzzell (MAB) right here in Carmel Maine. This custom drop point knife is 8-1/4″ inches overall with a 4-1/8″ inch tool steel blade and just over 1/8″ inch thick and 3/4″ inch wide with a rockwell hardness of 59. The handle is made from some great looking stabilized spalted Maple Burl Wood. Your handle will come alive outside in the sun with tons of colors.. The brass guard and brass spacers are all made from flat bar and sheet stock and shaped to the knife by hand.. The brass guard has two custom pins to lock the guard in place and another custom pin in the handle that goes through the knife tang making this one rugged to use in the field. The handle fits just great in your hand for a snug grip. The knife is a sub tang construction. Your custom knife has also been hand sanded from 220 grit to 1,200 grit for a mirror finish on the handle and the blade.. I also hand filed the top of the blade in my “Double Wave” pattern. All my file work is done by hand with a round file and a half round file, Not with a dremel like some custom knife builders do and call it file worked. So as you can see I put a lot of time into every one of my custom knives from fit and finish, To file work, So each custom knife can be used in the field or saved as a collectors piece for years to come. Your knife’s custom sheath was made by Carl Thomas of mississippi. Your custom knife will ship in a zip up knife case and come with a coa and a dvd telling more about the custom knife, Time spent when it was made and so on. This one of a kind should last a good many life times. Shipping is $6.00 for priority mail with signature conformation and insurance. SORRY NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
