Super fine looking knife Jeremy. Now why is it going to Kansas?

[jeremy86360]

Thanks!

Its going to Kansas cause he gave me $285 for it :)

[Lou The Fisherman]

Wow weeee Now thats good enuff for me. Hope you made him pay shipping!

[jeremy86360]

$285 included it. I try to price reasonably when I can.

[jeremy86360]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Its not too hard to do. If you ever want to do it...just try. Youd be surprised and what you can do. The blade is solid M2 tool steel from power hacksaw blades. They are not bimetal where just the teeth are hard, and yes, they are not cheap at all. However, I havent found a steel that I like more. Its the same thing HSS drill bits are made from. Its a past time hobby where the money I make from the knives goes back into buying shop tools. Every once in a while I will trade one for a hunting or fishing trip. Go to go to some cool places over the years doing it.

Hey Jeremy, you do good work. I would advise that you could raise the price quite a bit and have no trouble sending more knives to Kansas.

[jeremy86360]

I probably could, but I try to offer them at a fair and competitive price. The thing is not many handmade knives use M2 tool steel and that is something I always have to explain that sets them apart from using old files for blades. The blade stock I am using comes from power hacksaw blades meant for high speed cutting of up to 6" diameter steel barstock. Its a great steel, just tough to work. I also enjoy trading them for hunting and fishing gear and/or trips. All the money I make goes back into buying tools for the shop. I guess its a hobby that funds itself.
