This is a new design for me, a Carter style necker in thin stock 1095 for a very lightweight light use utility neck knife that is light enough to not be a pain in the neck!!
OAL- 6 7/8"
blade- 3 3/8" long, .061" thick at the spine, .030" measured 1/4" behind the edge, and .012" thick at the shoulder of the edge. 7/8" wide
steel- 1095 high carbon, differentially hardened. heat treat includes a double normalize, double anneal, triple edge quench { most of the blades width on these narrow blades} and triple temper for a really nice performing blade that takes and holds a great edge and yet is easy to resharpen!
grind- a full flat grind, sharpened on a Smiths 325 diamond hone with micro bevels, to an agressive razor edge
finish- 400 grit finish on the bevels under scotchbrite belt finish
handle- Cocobolo scales with peened brass pins. handle is finished with 200 grit with the lines running across the handle so it looks good yet isn't slick
sheath- .060 thick kydex with small black leather rivets. stripped paracord, easily adjustable, and I can cut it for my new safety feature if you like.
weight - 2.65 ounces for the total package of knife, sheath and cord.
I did a few videos on youtube on my 2 new lines of neckers:
to explain what I am after in a neck knife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cgJQJY-gAU
and a destructive test of the Carter style necker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONC3lOkoC9c
