Hey guys, just finished up this one. It is a couple first for me, my first knife of this model, my first knife with C-tek, my first knife made from 3v and the first knife made on my new Esteem Grinder! I'm really happy with how this one came out, it's a favorite of mine so far 
Asking $150 shipped inside the US, with Paypal or money order. Includes leather pocket sheath made by my dad.
Specs:
Length-6 13/16"
Blade Length-Just under 3"
Weight-3.6 oz
Steel-5/32 Cpm 3v with heat treatment and Cyro done professionally by peters heat treat to 61 hrc
Grind-High polished satin right handed chisel grind
Handle Material-Orange C-tek
The sheath still needs wet formed, I'm just too exited to wait to
Since this was my first time with this knife and the steel I needed to do some testing, so here is its brother that suffered from some bad glue lines that was put to the test.
I'm very impressed with its performance, after being hammered through a very hard 20 year old 2x4 it suffered no edge damage and it was still slicing phone book paper. I did snap the tip off it though after bending it while stabbing it in to the 2x4 and prying it out while tying to straiten it out by the same method
I would consider this abuse and i definitely wouldn't recommend it, but it was fun and i think the blade preformed very well
Thanks for looking, please tell me what you think!
