So a folder with this blade style is next???:roll eyes: hey, a guy can dream.....
Great geometry, I am really liking the wider blades lately (since using a knife to cause internal injury to animals!!) The 'wider' permanent cavity makes a difference when you don't have a precision shot....

A huge departure for me, and a huge learning experience. You build knives for six years and you start to think you know a little about manufacturing, and then you do something like this and you realize you DON'T!!!
These have flat V-ground bevels, CPM-S35VN, hardened at 58-60, tumbled finish. Handles are G10. 100% USA made out of USA made materials. 9" OAL, 4" of blade, 0.187" thick. Weight is 8.3oz.
I didn't cherry pick the best three, I just reached in, grabbed up three sets of parts, and ripped these first three out as fast as I could.
I'm really happy with how this project came together, and the knives will shave packing peanuts. Hope you guys like 'em, and thanks for all of your support and patience. Greatly appreciated. |
