Hi folks,
I have a few available for sale today. Except for the karambit, these are in 80crv2. I'm impressed with it's toughness, and I would sat that it has medium edge retention (better than 5160, worse than 1095). I spent a good portion of an afternoon beating on one of these, had a hard time damaging the tip or the edge without resorting to really abusive behavior (concrete and steel!) The burnt oil finish is relatively durable for an old fashioned finish, and helps prevent rust around the handle. Finish on the blades is a blue scotchbrite.
These are all differentially heat treated, but trying to polish them out to reveal the hamon just isn't working. On the plus side, check out my recent 90 degree bend test of a very similar knife.. 80crv2 drop point bend test
All are razor sharp. Kydex sheaths can scratch knives, especially when they are in this level of finish. 80crv2 is a carbon steel, and can rust if not maintained appropriately. I'm always happy to refinish a knife if it becomes an issue, so get out and use them, I'll fix 'em later if you want me to.
Shipping will be $10 per knife, and all payments will be via paypal. Please shoot me and email (powell.josh@gmail.com) or a PM and pick up one of these knives! If you like, you can follow me on facebook to keep updated with my latest work Grind Knives
#1 clip point hunter. $2004" blade, just a hair under 9" overall length. 1/4" thick.. Stainless steel bolster, black linen micarta scale. Kydex sheath with pocket/belt/boot clip.
#2 Modified drop point. $155. Thin (.1") Carbon fiber scale, 4 3/8" blade, 8 7/8" overall length. 1/4" thick. Kydex sheath with
pocket/belt/boot/IWB clip.
#3 Modified drop point. $155. .25" Carbon fiber scale, 4 3/8" blade, 8 7/8" overall length. 1/4" thick. Kydex sheath with
pocket/belt/boot/IWB clip.
#4 Wharncliff. 4 1/4" blade, 9" overall length. 1/4" thick. Leather sheath with belt/boot pocket clip. The finish on this came out a little hazy, so I'd be happy to let it go for $145
#5 Modified drop point. $145. Black linen micarta scale, 4 3/8" blade, 8 7/8" overall length. 1/4" thick. Leather sheath with
pocket/belt/boot/IWB clip. Leather sheath has some marks on the backside, pictured.
#6 Reverse tanto, or something. $195. 4 1/4" blade, 8 3/4" overall length. 1/4" thick. Leather sheath with pocket/belt/boot/IWB clip.
#7 Straight hunter. $100 Black cord wrap, 4 1/4" blade, 8 3/4" overall length. 1/4" thick. Traditional pouch style sheath.
#8 5160 karambit. $175 5/16" 5160. G10 scales and a leather sheath with large tek lok for a variety of carry options. The snap on the retention is not quite perfect, it's got a slight slant to it, and it's a little punched out, but it holds perfectly, and does not remove from the aesthetic of the sheath. 4" blade, 8 3/4" overall length. Because of the way that this hangs in your hand in a reverse grip, it feels like a lot more blade sticking out of your hand. Leather sheath is set up for a large teklok or a paracord rig. Some mounting is required is required for a teklok, new screws and plus shortening the posts, available for $15
