For Sale Hand Made Hunting Knife D2


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

One last blade before the New Year, tried to get it done sooner but had other ones to do.

Nice hunter for sale D2 blade and Micarta scales, comes with nice leather sheath. $135 shipped.

The blade steel is D2, cryo heat treated to 59-61Rc, I feel the cryogenic process really makes a difference in the grain structure resulting in smaller grain size, better toughness and a slight increase in hardness. Holds a good edge but takes a little more work to sharpen. Knife is 8 3/4' long with a 4 1/2" blade, 5/35 thick. Handle is black/green Micarta nicely contoured to fit the hand. Comes with a nice leather sheath which I make. All work is done by me.

D2 is not a stainless steel so you need to wipe the blade clean and dry after use.

I can say that a good D2 blade really holds its edge. We were lucky enough to shoot two bears the same weekend at our hunting camp and I skinned both of them without resharpening the knife. None of them were even mine!

Bought a slightly smaller version of this from him a month or two ago. Then had him custom make me a carving knife because mine sucked. Very nice blades, fit my hand well, hold a good edge. I plan to stock a few on my tool truck when I get the business up and running in a few weeks. Buy with confidence!
