3 B+T/ EDC

[J Lensmire]

These three were made as an experiment to see which I like best for different jobs or uses.
2 of the 3 blades came from the same bar of steel, the third’s steel was from same order. All heat treated at same time.
Edge length 3.25” OAL 7.5”
.125” 14C28N / Paul Bos HT ~ 63 Rc
Richlite “Nautical” w/ black g10 liner
Brass pins and Loveless bolt w/ white Gorilla glue.

I like the third one for the slimmer blade and the handle takes a dip at the rear. Good job.

Thanks, Cbach8tw. The surprising thing is all three blades are within .07” at the ricasso. The third is the slimmest at .89” while the top is widest at .96”. I think handle shape make appearance even greater.
So far, the middle one stills feels best in my hand, but the bottom a close second and top third. I think I need to thin top handle ever so lightly thru center thickness. It’s about .02” or so thicker then others.
