Stuart Mitchell blade with Ringed Gidgee handle

[Stew]

This is made from a bare blade that Stuart sold and therefore does not have his makers mark on it.


Specs:

• Blade length - 3 1/2"
• Overall Length - 8"
• Steel - 12C27 heat treated to Rc 59
• Blade thickness - 4mm
• Grind - slightly hollow with secondary bevel
• Handle material - Ringed Gidgee

Pics: (Apologies - I'm having camera 'issues' at the moment!)

The Gidgee has a nice ripple to it but it's very difficult to photo. There is a small natural 'chip' in the left hand scale. Gidgee is a very dense wood.

The sheath is made from wet-formed 3mm veg tan leather and black linen thread, saddle-stitched.

I would like £80 (includes delivery and fees)

Price drop to £75....

You're having a laugh. That price is silly money.

If I didn't have two SM blades to handle I'd have your arm off, it is really well finished to boot

If anyone is mulling over this - don't. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Does that blade have a slight re-curve or is it a trick of the eye?

 

[Stew]

Yes, it has a very slight recurve close to the ricasso.

Not too much to be annoying, curvey enough to add more power to cuts.

 

[Stew]

Drop to £70.

This is as low as I'll go with this but I'll throw in a simple lanyard with a couple of fancy knots made of either black or olive paracord - buyers choice.

 

[Stew]

Ok, I told a lie - a drop to £60 to clear, but for only four days. I'll still include the lanyard if desired.

Oh, and I've managed some better pictures!

Ill have it if someone hasnt aready beat me to it

 

[BorderReiver]

You've got yourself a real bargain.

 

[Dougster]

Cracing little thing. I thought twice when I saw £60 but I'm glad you've had it.
