I bought this blade from Shing intending it to be for me, but the bank balance not would allow. I finished it today. SOLD
It is lovely, very tough in CPM 3V Stain resistant tool steel, Shing assured me the Rc was 57-58 and it is beautifully balanced.
The blade is110mm with an overall of 230 from 30mm bar at 4mm thick. It's robust to say the least.
The handle is tufnol linen micarta with brass and stainless loveless bolts and a 6mm brass lanyard tube, you can see from the pics I've put in a hand swell and more traditional bushcraft handle shape.
The sheath will be made of 3.5mm veg tanned leather to the specification of the buyer, in that it can be left or right handed, loop or double dangler (or just a brass O ring) and in saddle tan, dark brown or black and finished in mink oil. This should be ready in inder a week.
I'd like £150 for this, to include paypal and RMSD within the UK. If I get this, I'll put £10 into cancer research as my raffle looks to have flopped!
Thanks for looking
Richard
