i call it the "2nd Amendment" and i think you can see why. i designed it for pure function and survival. this will be put up in the forsale page tonight.

it turned out very nice. i have 3 more in the works that need sheaths and cord wraps. what you think.
 
That is a nice smooth hollow grind. Looks perfect from here. You do that off hand?
 
Jarod, it looks as if you ground that out of 1/4 in ....? Has the look of durability with the cord wrap and dark sheath. I looked in on your metal score and have been looking for a good supplier in my area...No one seems too anxious to supply us little guys. Your knives are awesome...keep up the good work, Gary
 
Nice stuff.. Are you going to wrap the other handles? I think one would look cool with something different.

Maybe......................black denim micarta?
 
im thinking around 150 but am not shure yet. how much do you think its worth :D
 
Jarod,
Be cautious of using an edge quench on deep hardening steels ,like 5160. With the thickness of the 1/4" spine, and the slowness of the hardening curve, the edge may not fully harden properly.

What would be the best method?
 
Amazing how something so simple can look so good, outstanding Jarod!!!
I'd damn sure ask more than $150 for em!
 
i did some tests with the test blade. i cut 3/16 brass rod with one swing and no edge damage. it kept its shaving edge.
 
Neat. Simple , to the point.

Not a huge fan of cordwrapped handles but I dig that knife.

Love the work finished look. :thumbup:
 
naked,

As I've learned recently, a better way may be to fully quench the knife and temper it, then heat the spine of the blade with a torch (don't need to get it glowing, just get it above normal tempering temp) while keeping the edge under water to dissipate the heat.

This prevents inconsistencies within the steel which can happen within the slowly cooling spine during an edge quench, and it gives you a much more consistent make up within the steel. The spine draw with a torch effectively gives you two temper areas: one at the edge which will remain hard for cutting ability, and one that is much softer at the spine and handle to absorb shocks from batoning or hard impacts.

I like it a lot Jarod. I like the big retention strap/snap. Nice and sturdy.
