ats34 and black canvas utility for sale

[john foxwell]

A few details,

Overall length is 240mm with a blade length (plunge to tip) of 110mm. Blade thickness is 4mm. The blade steel is ATS34 professionally hardened and tempered to a final hardness of 58-59 HRC.
Handle scales are black canvas micarta with stainless tube pins. The scales have been finished to approx 400grit to provide a very effective and tactile grip.

The sheath is 3.2mm vegtan leather, hand dyed and hand stitched. The sheath has been wet moulded to the knife for a secure fit.

All work on the knife, (except HT) and the sheath, is mine and the package comes with a certificate of origin and guarantee.

Asking price is $250, postage will be at cost and paypal is available.
If you have any queries or questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I also have available a similar knife, the only difference to the one pictured is that is has been handled with black linen micarta (see inset)

Would love to see your take on a chute knife with a similiar handle John ! Really nice work .

Matthew,Ahhhh, chute knives.......... My first chute knife went into the bin, then I made a couple or mild steel chute knife blanks. I am right to give it another try with real steel now. John the double edge is not hard but you have to think it about it and have a couple practice tries.

How was Melbourne? Maurie McCarthy told me that I am now a full member of the Guild. What about you? (I assume that you got full membership.)

On closer inspection I note that the photograph was done by Neal Foxwell, your son? (that accompanies you to the shows) well done.

I've done a double grind, similar to a chute pattern on this blade style, unfortunately the steel I used was too thin for that style, consequently the blade is living in drawer without any handle. It looks fine but the tip is too fragile for general use, however a lesson was learnt in the process. I might drag it out in the future and see what I can do with it, shorten it maybe.

Stew, Melbourne was good, numbers were down on last year though but still good and yes, I got the nod from the guild as well.

Make sure you keep me informed of that one John !
