Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS: Rick Menefee knife - early model

I purchased this knife many years ago, but it just stayed in the safe. I figured I would pass it along.

I was told the steel is most likely 154cm. Overall length is about 7.5 inches, Green micarta handle. Blade is unused, but has a very slight mark, about the size of a 1/16 of an inch, very faint, but still there. Comes with a Parsons leather sheath.

If you need or would like additional pictures, please let me know.

$275 shipped. Will accept PayPal or check/money order.

Not really looking for any trades - but would entertain ideas.

Thanks!

Joe

Rick makes a fine knife. Usually though, out of my price range.

Not sure from the pics, but it looks like it's flat ground. To be sure, is it convex or flat?

2nd question, how long is the cutting edge of the blade?

Thanks for you time and help.

Terry

Thanks for reaching out!

It is a convex blade. The cutting edge of the blade measures 3.5 inches.

Thanks!

Convex? Or hollow ground. Convex would bulge out.

Thanks Joe.

I figured it was hollow ground, but I prefer flat ground like one of Rick's flat ground parers that I have. I did mistakenly say convex which was quickly pointed out by 257.

Shouldn't have any trouble finding someone wanting a Menefee Made knife. Hard to top the knife or the maker.

I've known Rick for years and sold many of his knives. Personally I know of 2 that were flat ground and I own one . The other is a drop point I sold here years ago. Rick hollow grinds on a large diameter contact wheel and that's the reason his hollow grinds can be mistaken sometimes as a flat grind

Sorry - meant to say hollow ground - wasn't quite thinking.

Let's drop it to $265 shipped.

Thanks everyone!

I would refer to this as an edge description whereas when I speak of hollow or flat ground I'm speaking of the stock removal on the flat portion of the blade. I prefer the lighter feel of a hollow ground blade with it's lighter weight. Plus some may argue a hollow grind provides more clearance when cutting and passing through a deep surface like meat.

I have a collection of both types of grinds. My hollow grinds were made with a 14" wheel and the radius is obvious.

In the above example, hollow ground edge can only be produced with a wheel.

Does it have a tapered tang?

It doesn’t look like it. See attached pic.

$255 shipped.
