Kind of hard to wear with your uniform, though.

I would love to give my Sheriff and Sheriff (elect) a heart attack by having that knife on my hip.

Similarly, I'd like to strap that Reaper knife on to my thigh and give my RBWB (Raised-By-Wolves-Boss) a heart attack by drawing and plunging it into the nice oak conference table.

I, too, am interested in a price. A small fortune would not be wasted on this.

Get working on the concealment rig. Between the shoulderblades or outside of the thigh?

Definitely outside of thigh.
That would be very "Zon" like.

Shark Bait, Thanks for the inquiry. Prices are open information.
The price for this knife in CPM S-30V steel is 475 dollars US currency plus shipping.
This is a handbuilt custom by me done in CPM-S30V steel. Materials cost for one knife and sheath runs right at 100 dollars and there almost four days work in it. This price will be good for members of this website.

Thanks Bill,
I'll start saving. I still need to order my Yarborough, too.

Bill:
Everyone who knows blades, and has handled this knife, has commented on how the blade feels "alive" and seems to be an extension of your hand.
Given the fact that some makers charge as much as $75-$100 per blade inch and the amount of time you put into these blades, I would have to say, for a custom knife, that qualifies as a heck of a bargain.
I am a frugal SOB when I can get away with it, this is one of those items that like guns, ammo and body armor, the time may come when you wish you had spent more to get the very best.
When looking at a gun or a knife, I always ask myself, if I had this, and the other guy had whatever he wanted, would I feel disadvantaged by my equipment?
I have to say with this blade, my equipment would not be my limiting factor.

Astounding
I particularly love the second from the "top". That's the right size for me. What a beautiful, functional gift for The Mrs. to buy me for Christmas... !

If you are referring to the knives in a vertical stack, that is the Yarborough/Green Beret Knife.

Every time I pick this blade up, I marvel at the construction, fit, finish, and most of all, the utility of it.
This thing feels "alive" and moves much faster than you would expect from a knife this size. I will be taking it to the woods again next month, I am sure that it will be the perfect companion.
Again Bill, thanks for the work, it is everything I wanted and more.

OK,
I realize that I am waking a dead post on this one, but a couple of questions:
TR,
Did you ever find a Kydex sheath for it and how is it holding up for you?
Bill,
What is the Guard material and how long is your Current backlog 
Good times,
Blake

Negative.
We just spoke about a new sheath for it earlier this month.
AFAIK, the guard appears to be aluminum.
