.300" CF knife WIP

I have to ask, and show my ignorance, why CF rather than steel?

 

[Charlie Mike]

It's a special purpose knife and for that mission, must be non-metallic.

Looking forward to heat treat.

Kinda hard to make out but it is ground on both sides with a 2/3 sharpened false edge.

It's not a false edge if it's sharp.

It's an actual edge!!!

Thanks!

This is 10.5"overall and Im gonna wrap the handle with rayskin and gutted 550.

im curious why you chose that blade shape, wouldn't a dagger or less bellied / more pointy design work better for this type of thing

 

[Charlie Mike]

It just kinda came to me.

I still wouldn't try to sneak this past TSA at the airport if I were you...

I gotta know, Does it cut?

I gotta know, Does it cut?

It easily cuts through meat and 550. Has a very toothy edge. Obviously its POU is stabbing though. I'm working on a defensive tool inspired by the Hideaway Knife at the moment. Much nastier to come.

And, no, I wouldn't advise testing these at the airport. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Remember at the Airport they have not only Xrays but Density detectors just for items like this!
Might I ask where you got the CF? just the size I need...

I bought it from a guy named Kousins Kustoms almost 2 years ago.
