AS39: "Scorpious"$225 shipped in the lower 48 USA. Used once at Razor 's last cutting party. Has a few fine scratches from said cutting session. Payment by PayPal. It pains me to sell this, but financial hardships leave me no choice. Envisioned to be the blade of a high-desert drifter, this piece makes me think of a scorpion's tail. I planned on keeping and, doing some cutting with this one. So, instead of my usual 1200 grit low-mirror polish, I polished it to just a 400 grit satin finish. Steel: 1075 Handle Material: Wenge Overall Length: 24 & 3/4" Blade Length: 18 & 3/4" Handle Length: 6" Tang Thickness: 1/4" POB: 3 & 1/2" past front edge of handle Weight: 1 lb, 9 oz Heat treated by L Driggers (fallen)

NICE! I love that shape, it's like a terrifying looking yataghan. The dark wood looks absolutely perfect as well, it really cements it's look as a beautiful, but still useful tool.

You have a very unique aesthetic to your blades, and it really works. Your stuff stands out as being yours and I like it a lot.

At least we know this one won't be able to be bend over your knee.

At least we know this one won't be able to be bend over your knee. Definitely true. The heat treat is, of course, outstanding. So is the blade geometry and overall craftsmanship. This is a great sword.

I would've snapped this up in a heartbeat if I'd seen the listing when it was active. Looks like a hell of a deal.
