This is a one of Michael’s rare Hunting knives. As an Artist Michael enjoys creation and experimentation, he decided to Hand Craft a few Hunters before the Show last year (each a different size and purpose) and this is the smallest of the group ~ an EDC Hunter that has a gorgeous appearance but is tough enough for any Camp or Woods Chore.
This is a Full Tang Hunter with a wonderfully comfortable Custom Contoured Handle of Black Micarta that has been Custom Milled Out on each Side to accept the Incredible Stabilized Spalted Maple Burl Inlay!
The handle Swells in the Center and has a Flare at the Butt to help keep the handle firmly in your palm.
The Handle Scales were cut from the same block so they match perfectly. This is some of the finest Spalted Maple that I have seen in the long time!
The Blade was Hand Ground from Robust 5/32 nds CPM S30V that Michael gave a Two Tone finish, the Flats have the Original Mill Scale left on them and Michael gave the Bevels a Labor Intensive Hand Rubbed Finish. There are subtle Thumb Ridges on the Spine for added Grip Security.
A Late Distal Taper at the tip will allow for Finer Cutting work or assistance in puncture. Michael is a perfectionist and crafted each part of this knife with care and precision.
This knife comes complete in a Custom Fitted Kydex Sheath that has a Felt Inner Lining to prevent scratching. I'm asking $525 for this knife with shipping included in the CONUS ONLY!
~ Hand Crafted with precision from the finest materials ~
The same knife was sold on the Fort Henry Customs site a while back. There's some additional information there, as well as more pictures including the ones that the OP is using in his listing.
In fact, their listing uses the exact same language as this for sale listing. Coincidentally, I'm sure.
Bump for a very pretty knife.

I simply provided info you hadn't or wouldn't, even when asked for. I found the fact that you're using Fort Henry's texts and pics interesting, and perhaps coincidental; a coincidence you confirmed.
It's a very pretty knife. Good luck with your sale.
