My new Bird & Trout model - 3" blade and 8 1/2" overall. ATS-34 stainless steel, heat treated by Paul Bos Green Canvas Micarta handles, 303 SS pins. Very special to me as it's my first stainless knife and first B&T! I offered this up for a trade with another knifemaker so I don't know if it'll be available or not yet. I have 2 more heat treated blanks if anyone wants to order one. This one is $150 if I sell it.
Thanks! It's not a true mirror polish - I tried and am getting closer. One of these days... I spent alot of time hand finishing this one and it looks great. Yep Connie has a "dibs" in already! She might get this one and if not I'll make another as I have 2 more blanks. I'll make some more and get them heat treated.
Well I got the go-ahead and Connie will be owner of stainless knife #1. I'll make another for the trade I'm doing and that leaves one more available. I'll be making more and sending them to heat treat next month.
Yep, I have three and CRC got one and I'm trading another. So I have one not spoken for right now. I'll make more but it'll be a while on those. Special Melbo Price + $1400! (That is how much you got, right?) I can make one like Bear's also. O1 and bolsters. I could actually do it in 440C or ATS-34 but it'll take longer.
Nice one.... Gee .... to think I knew you when.... Keep up the good work.... American Bladesmith Society and Knifemaker's Guild ... here you come!!!!
