Here is a very hard to find and unusual "Chute" knife from Steve measuring 8 3/4" in OAL with a 4 1/2" blade length. Most Chutes have a third to a half grind on the top of the blade, and not the full grind that this knife features. The grind and finish would bring tears to your eyes to see it in person, I don't believe I have ever seen another one as good as this. The stainless steel guard, pins, and extra large tube are very highly polished as well. The tapered tang is covered first with red fiber liners, and then with some very premium Sambar Stag handle slabs that match very nicely from side to side. The knife does not come with a leather sheath, but Steve's sheath maker, Nate Christensen, could very easily make one for less than $75.00. It's hard to imagine a finer knife from Steve!
