Hello everyone, here is the latest project I have going on. The concept for this one is an ultralightweight hollow handle EDC knife (for those interested in HH knives, obviously). It is called the PACKLite, and the first two batches sold out very quickly, so I decided to pursue a "mid-tech" version.
These have a 3" long blade of 3/32" thick CPM154 stainless steel @ 59-60, and flat ground to slice. The blade will feature OG green GunKote finish, and the guard, handle and buttcap will have matching OD anodizing. Black cord wrap will set it all off. There will be a compass in the buttcap and an OD kydex sheath. The knife itself weighs in at just 3.2 oz! (For all of the prototypes, so far. There will be some slight variation with the finished models.)
Here are a few pics, and I am happy to hear any feedback. The pictures are just quick phone pics of the advanced prototypes, but I will get better pics later. Thank you!
