Here are a few of Josh Clarke's "BTC" model (Bird, Trout and Caping) knives. . A few weeks ago, Josh offered me special pricing on knives he had left inventory. So, I am passing the savings on to Campfire members.
I have only a handfull of these in stock- once they are gone -that is it I have a few each of the Dark Curly Maple and Black Walnut Burl on hand (See sample oic below).
The design is a very slim drop point useful for everything from detail caping , filleting fish or cleaning birds and small game. It's also just a great little EDC or camp knife.
The handle design is a classic birdshead with a nice oval handle cross section. At about 3.5.ounces, the knife and sheath combo disappears on your belt. A very handsome and useful little knife.
The dimensions are 7.9 " overall length with a 3.75" The blade that is thinly flat ground ground from .100" thick 1095 stock. Heat treat at 58-59 RC.- sharp as h*ll and holds the edge nicely, yet easy to sharpen. It is deeply marked with Josh's "Broadsword" maker's stamp.
The Fancy air dried scales were hand picked from Josh's wood inventory .. Lots of curly highlights in the scales.The handle scales are all bookmatch ,so the figure is equal on both sides.The pics DO NOT do these scales justice!
They are all attached with hand set brass pins and lanyard tube epoxied with Brownell's Acraglass. Then they are finished in Josh's shop blend of Tung oil and Spar varnish for a velvety, yet tough finish. Also included is one of his beautiful hand stitched pouch sheaths.
My price is $90 with $10 shipping to the lower 48. PayPal or USPS money as payment please.
