Heres one more of mine guys, this one is really my first knife that I started it just got put on the back burner for sometime. I'd like to thank Kim Breed and Gary Wheeler for watching over me and making sure I did'nt cut my hand off.:D

Very nice, Chance! What kind of steel? When I get my taxes back, I will be buying some CPM 3V probably. The blade on yours is beautiful. Have a good one.

chance 01-22-2008 18:55

Thanks, its CPM-S30V stainless bead blasted

Looks solid watch the S30v in the bead blasted state it will want to rust on you, did you make a sheath as well?

Its a lot of fun and really puts a good perspective on what goes into a knife.

Kim is a great guy

That must be a new alloy of steel, I haven't heard if it before.

Well, you guys never asked about the time machine he made already, to take him into the future, to the year 2217, where S340V is all the rage in the knife community.

Of course, they don't actually let you sharpen it then, but it is very cool, nonetheless.

Nice looking knife.

chance 01-24-2008 09:26

Good catch bill,
to many adult drinks when I posted it heres the correction CPM-S30V

sofmed 01-24-2008 23:02

Outstanding!
 
Nice lines on that one. I like the over extended finger notch added for a more sure grip as well. Very nice knife. If you ever decide to start offering them on the market I'm up for a purchase or two. :D

HEY! You promised not to tell!

Chance, some guys I know are calling the steel "S-30V". I always us the full and correct designation of "CPM S-30V" to try and side step possible confusion.

CPM stands for "Crucible Particle Metallurgy".
The "S-30V" designation stands for the specific alloy made using the CPM process.
It was Chris Reeve who suggested that alloy mix to the metallurgists at Crucible and they ran with it resulting in the steel that is used to make the Yarborough Knife.

Testing that stuff for two years prior to "market" was a very interesting experience.

Your using very good stuff.
