Hello all!
I’m happy to present for your consideration , a pair that I hope you like as much as I enjoyed making.
First up, a heavy tanto fighter blade in AEBL heat treated to Rc60+. This one measures in at just over 13” long with an effective edge of 7.5”+. I compound ground the bevels by hand on a 10” wheel. Edge down to 0.02 and 17 deg/side to 1000 grit on the wicked edge system. This girl is 0.265” at the spine and has not missed any meals.
full sized guard and lanyard hole. Scales are beautiful iron wood with carbon fiber pins and g10 liners. Bonded with West Systems toughened epoxy which serves the purpose well!
Next , my Striker model in CPM3V and high flat ground to a strong slicer. The blade was ground to 0.010” before final 20 deg edge. At Rc60 hardness and the toughness inherent in this steel, she’s a performer. Striker pommel exposed. 9” overall with the center right at the ricasso. The scales here turned out well and are segmented ancient bog oak and stunning malachite with g10 liners. Copper pins finish the package.
Both pieces come with vertical belt rigs shown in Holstex carbon fiber. Set up RH draw but easily changeable.
Pics below. Note: ruler for reference in some pics.
I would like $188 for the tanto, and $168 for the slicer. Need em both you say! I’ll take $330 for bothPayPal FF please or email me first to discuss. We can work it out. I cover priority shipping in the lower 48. I would also consider trades for made in USA folders (flippers and autos) in stainless steel!
Questions and comments always welcome !
Thank you,
John
