The pros say Sambar Stag from India is the best. Harder, less brittle, less pith and the best color of all. I tend to believe it. For years there was an export ban by India and the deer population was threatened due to... With proper management the export ban has finally been lifted I'm told.

To give you an idea of the cost of this just the Sambar Stag for the handles cost $160 before shipping. The custom leather/Caiman sheath was made by one of our own on the forum....1911alltheway.

Well good cause that's exactly what it is.

Welcome to TGO!

Sorry but this was sold from the get go. There was no option of showing it to anyone for sale as it was taken.

11 1/2" OAL beauty with a false edge and hollow grind. The blade is right at 6" long. it has over 500 layers to achieve it's look. It's about 3/16" thick at the spine. The handles are new product from Voodoo Resins. They have this unique look with the added aluminum mesh added into the blade. Very cool and different. It has SS pins and lanyard tube and comes with the combo kydex/leather sheath shown.

I have a couple nearly ready. Get your checkbook ready cause the price is excellent and they are real lookers.

I started with red dots (Leupold RMR) in 2012 and I do exactly as you do. My eye sight was going down hill and once I adapted to the RMR I found my on target shooting is very respectable. I constantly hit what I'm aiming at regardless if it's 7 yards of 25 yards. Of course my groups aren't that of a guy like Tony of probably even yours but I'm confident it's darn good enough to protect myself and do a little damage to the bad guy.

It's made from 5/32" thick 1084 carbon steel. I did a hollow grind on this one. OAL is 9 3/4" and a blade length of 4 1/2". It has a black oxide finish to add patina and aid against corrosion. The handles are spalted elm with Padauk and black G10 liners. The pins and lanyard tube are brass. The combo kydex/leather sheath shown comes with it.

I vary quite a bit on the finish from batch to batch. And some of the old sawmill steel takes the finish differently than others. The current batch of blades I'm working on are noticeably lighter than some of the previous ones. I just kinda go with what I have to work with and try to make that particular piece look as best as I feel it can.

I can't really tell from the picture but peejman may be right about it being a sawmill knife. I will be making more sawmill blades.

Seeing that big one makes me want to make one for myself.

Made from 3/16" thick 1084 carbon steel. Designed by the owner....black oxide finish with sculpted G10 handles.
