This Auction has ended, Congratulations Downhillshot!
I have very little information on this knife but it's obvious it was handmade. There are no markings but it was very well done. It weighs in at only 14.9 oz (0.931 lb), it's sharp and perfectly balanced! It was made from a 0.200" thick chunk of real Damascus Steel which is likely a ladder pattern of two different types of steel; 1095 and 15N20.
The blade is 8" long and 1-5/8" wide. The total length is 13". There is some beautiful file work on the spine and the handle is as solid as can be. The handle tapers from 1-1/8" at the bolster to 1" at the butt and feels great in the hand; the red and brass accents really set it off. The holster shown is also included but there are no obvious markings there either.
I'll let you guys determine the starting bid and I'll cover shipping or handling to the winner. 100% will go to my friend; Michael AKA: FD, Mower Master, Mini-14 Man, Diesel Dude....
This auction ends at noon on Monday, August 22, 2022. I'll ship the next business day after payment is received. Highest bidder wins based on the posted time stamp below.
Thank you for helping one of our own in a time of need,
Brad
