I have a few EDC knives available. Questions and comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Jess

The first one is a Derry EDC model with 1/8" 80crv2 carbon steel at 61 HRC. 80crv2 is a tough steel that takes a nice edge. It's my go-to carbon steel. The blade has a full height flat grind with machine finish. The handle is stabilized Purple Heart. It has a great Merlot color. The hardware is stainless steel. This one includes a right hand leather sheath.
OAL: 6-7/8" Blade: 3"
$145 Shipped in the US



The second one is another Derry EDC with 1/8" 80crv2 carbon steel at 61HRC. The blade has a full flat grind with machine finish. Natural linen micarta makes up the handle on this one. The handle hardware is stainless. This one also includes a RH leather sheath.
OAL: 6-7/8" Blade: 3"

The third one is one of my Down model skinners. This knife is designed to be a small skinner that can be used with a 3-finger grip, but it makes a great EDC also. The blade is 1/8" 80crv2 carbon steel heat treated to 61 HRC. The grind is a very shallow hollow (20"). The handle is a nice piece of stabilized Philippine mahogany. It has a nice subtle chatoyance. This one includes a RH leather sheath.
OAL: 6-5/8" Blade: 3"

Interesting thought: Chatoyance (according to Google) is an optical phenomenon in which a band of reflected light, known as a "cat's-eye," moves just beneath the surface of a cabochon-cut gemstone. Chrysoberyl and tiger's-eye are two of the best-known gem materials that exhibit this phenomenon. Thank you for teaching me a new word. Now did you know "chatouille" is the french word for tickle? I wonder which came first, and if maybe chatoyance is related to "tickling" your eyes by looking at the phenomenon...

Either way, these are beautiful pieces and certainly tickled my eyes.

I never actually looked up the definition, I've just known the term is used to describe the movement like appearance in some figured woods when the light hits out. The ripples in curly maple are the best example. The wood can be perfectly flat but appear as if it's a wasboard, and the washboard ripples seem to move as you move the piece.
Good chatoyance can make a nice piece of wood spectacular! Thank you for the compliments and the definition. I shouldn't assume everyone knows that term.
