Offered here is a 75mm (3") bladed Muntjac model...

Steel is 3mm stock, Sheffield grade, SF100, tried and tested beyond doubt, easy to maintain, takes a great edge and holds it..!

Scales are red G10, those fitted over a tapering tang and secured by a duo of flared stainless steel tubes...

The blades gets the usual bright satin polish, the handle blasted for texture and grip...

The superb leather sheath it is supplied alongside is custom made to fit the very knife, hand made, hand stitched. truly a work of art in it's own right...

The all in asking price, which includes any payment fees and guaranteed and insured delivery, is £325...

If you know anything of my work you will know that quite a few of my projects utilise a hefty 8mm stock steel, Harry Brearley, my Centenary Steak, SKALPEL, all are such, the actual steel was commissioned by me in 2013, the centenary of the discovery of stainless steel, I needed it in order to create that very Harry Brearley knife and it was made in August of that year, exactly 100 years, to the month, after Brearley discovered stainless steel here in Sheffield, it is a steel with story, steel with provenance, it is SF100...

Having the availability and working with such a thickness is a great bonus, it can be a challenge though, initially of course there is the cutting of it, even with a small quantity of blanks to cut, you don't just take a hacksaw to it...

For this I rely upon the services of a mate of mine, and fellow Sheffielder, he has a laser, a big one...

The slight niggle here is that I don't get the opportunity to utilise the laser too often, you do need to be cutting a fair quantity of blanks to make it cost effective, as a result for most of what I make the blanks are indeed cut by hand, but when I do use the laser, once the blanks cut for any project, I always take back the 'scrap', the skeleton of steel...

For years I have been building a small collection of these things in the workshop, in varying sizes, and of course varying blanks cut from within, they are extremely cool and the interest they create among visitors to the workshop is quite phenomenal, literally everyone commenting that I should do something with them, offer them for sale, so I am going to do so...

The one you see here is indeed the 8mm stock SF100 and sized at 1085x345mm, the blanks cut from within it go on to become 6" bladed general purpose kitchen knives, the slots you see in the steel is how many knives there will be, ever..!

The skeleton has been zinc plated, to give it a bright, corrosion free (even if displayed outdoors), industrial look and feel and drilled in each corner to allow wall fixing, there are photos showing the zinc finish against the raw steel of an untreated skeleton...

This particular section is priced, at a collected from the Sheffield workshop, with a tour and cuppa included, £275...

I am sure a courier could be organised if collection was problematic, and I would be happy to look into that, as you can imagine it is no lightweight...

This really is the Christmas present for the person who does have everything, they don't have one of these..!

This particular one is now sold but please enquire, I have more…

What I can only describe as a unique opportunity has arisen to purchase a knife I made around 8 years ago, I say unique as I suspect that the cost of the materials alone, the combination of mammoth ivory, sterling silver and Damasteel, would be hugely prohibitive for such a build today...

Bjorkmann Twist Damasteel was the steel of choice for the 110mm hollow ground blade, 4mm stock at the spine, tapering tang of course...

Generally speaking, when Damasteel is utilised for the blade of a knife, that will be the most costly factor, not so here though, The handle is very special on this one too, the scales are of some of the finest quality blue mammoth ivory that I have ever seen or worked with, beautiful colouration and solid as a rock. I recently checked with my supplier in HK regarding the cost of similar sections today, astoundingly this quality, in this colour, would be in the region of $2.5k, if available...

And it doesn't stop there, The bolsters, pins and lanyard hole are of 925 sterling silver, such was requested and being unable to locate any in a large enough or suitable section to form the bolsters I opted to cast them myself, I did a little sand casting in my youth and that experience came in very handy, to perfectly complete the build I also registered my own sponsor mark with the Sheffield Assay Office, that being the portion of a hallmark that denotes the maker of the work...

The sheath is a hand made, hand tooled beauty, made and supplied by Woodlander leather, the tooling merging the two components perfectly...

Everything considered I'd expect that simply bringing together this clutch of materials/supplies today would leave a £3k dent in your coffer, then the knife needs making...

I am offering this for sale on behalf of my client, who is the original commissioner of the piece, I do have it in my possession though and is available to view by appointment in my workshop.

Here is a link to further photographs of #298 within my website gallery.

This knife is now sold.

A benchmark Secare, 5mm stock SF100 blade steel with a blade length of 100mm…

The sheath in this instance a custom made black leather variant, the front pouch sufficient to house a DC4 sharpening stone, a Secare style handled firesteel and orange stitching throughout complete the stylish outfit…

This knife is now sold.

Handle scales in this instance are blue/black G10, those secured by a brace of 10mm stainless steel flared tubes…

The blade length, as all MuntjaX, is 100mm, what is unique about this one is the stock of the SF100 steel utilised, made as a prototype, the blade is cut from 2mm thickness steel, more generally the MuntjaX would be 1mm more...

I use 2mm stock SF100 extensively for the vast majority of the kitchen/cooking knives that I make, blades up to 250mm in length and they work a dream, light, quick and very capable, for a while I wondered how the same gauge would work on more of an outdoor-orientated blade, the MuntjaX the perfect candidate in my opinion...

I am delighted to report much of the same, light, quick and capable, very nimble and slicey...

Supplied in a superb brown leather right-hand carry belt sheath...

This knife is now sold.
