Pawn Shop Find - Pete Semich Custom Knife?

[Tomcat47]

Done my weekly yard sale and pawn shop run this morning, and picked this up at pawn shop for $30.00 bucks.

Had never heard of him, but it looks nice, is well balanced and everything is fit right on knife. The Eagle was an added touch ( I have a thing for Eagles)...

So I looked him up on the net....The knife actually sells for $110 with display stand and his wife Alice does the Art work on handle.

The blade is I suppose either 440-C , Ats-34, O1 or O2 ? I dropped him an email. The site does not state what it is made of.

He has some nice stuff and appears to do nice work! This one feels very good in hand and balance is perfect. Now for a leather sheath to keep it protected!

Here is his site link: http://www.petesknives.com/index.html

I am an avid pawnshop scavenger, with the internet nowdays it's not as easy to score like that anymore. I work in a pawnshop also, my advice to you is remember that shop!!!!! Make it a regular stop, odds are pretty good they don't have a knife guy and more will slip through.

At my store all the new black fast opening stuff gets grabbed up by coworkers, but that old looking ancient looking stuff that ain't good for nothin fall to me Kids just don't know nothin these days!!

Put some thought into the sheath, is the blade around 3 or so inches? For me that makes the perfect edc knife.......but the sheath makes the difference for me.
