SpectrumWear 7/32" stock hardened to 60-61RC, subzero quenched, spring tempered spine
11.5" OAL, 1.3" wide, 6.75" blade, 5.75" cut edge, 10.6 oz w/out sheath, Duracoat ACU Grey Green paint.
G10 scales.

SOLD $90 shipped by Priority Mail. I ask that cheap because I would call it “blemished” – I cut the choil slightly larger than I wanted.

There is no belt loop on kydex, it is drilled for large teklock.

The steel is somewhat new to me, it got to the market very recently, you can read up on it from alphaknifesupply. It is similar to 3V by composition (8.5% chrome) but supposed to be even more tough. I tested the knife a bit before I duracoated it and was quite impressed by edge holding.

It’s been few weeks since it was duracoated so the paint is cured enough. I can’t comment on durability of the coating on that steel, this is my first SpectrumWear blade. Duracoat is weaker for sure than Cerakote, and probably will partially wear off after heavily wood chopping/batoning. But the blade has enough chrome to keep away from rusting even if it gets exposed a bit.

Got the knife in today and it is quite nice. Feels good in the hand and is impressively sharp. I am curious what to expect from this steel I have been poking around and have not been able to find out much about it.

Also the sheath has a nice fit to it. I don't have much experience with kydex sheaths, but I really like the way the blade snaps in. The thumb push off is a nice touch for helping to draw the knife as well. Thanks again for a great custom blade!
