I began making the Model IX hunter/utility knife in October of 2006 in this original size. The overall length about 7 1/2" or so, give or take. Variations cost, well...various amounts. Here are some of the many that I have made in this size with some of the different handle materials and design variants. Hope you like 'em.
If you see something you want, just Contact Me to order one. I can usually get a Model IX to a customer within 2 weeks, but officially I'll say the wait time is 2 months. That gives me plenty of leighway if something unexpected happens. It honestly takes longer for the sheaths to cure than to make the knife.
