AEB-L recommendation

[MichalZ]

Hi folks...just a quick question.

Looking for a production knife or maker who can craft AEB-L blade for bushcraft tasks...want 60+ rockwell, thin blade, steep angle



Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

I'll nominate David Mary or myself as candidates in the maker/designer space. I have several bushcraft/camp designs already and am actively working on another order.

We work a lot with AEB-L with hardness around 61-62 most often. We haven't dipped below 60 rockwell unless it's a machete or chopper.

I like knives, and once upon a time, although I was willing to save, a top maker heard my income, and had nothing more to say. So I became a maker myself. Do you like knives? They're good for your mental health! I'll make you one, go ahead and drop me a line. Deny a man a custom knife? It ought...

OP: Nathan "The Machinist" @ CPK (Carothers Performance Knifes) is currently making his DEK1 in 3V but it is also available in AEB-L. It seems to fit the bill for what you are looking for in a "bushcraft" knife. I bought one in 3V off of the Exchange and it is very nice. It comes w/a kydex sheath.

Here are the specs for the knife:

Delta 3V, 60-61 HRC, .160″ thick at ricasso (a little over 5/32″)*
Total length 9.125
Blade length 4.5
Weight 6.2 oz
Edge angle 20 DPS
Grippy 3D machined scales in micarta or G10
Titanium fasteners
Hidden lanyard

* Also available in AEB-L stainless steel

I'm sure that you can modify the blade angle and make any other mods you'd like. If you're interested, you can contact Nathan directly on BF the CPK subforum in the Hosted Knifemaker's Forum here.

PS: A DEK-1 in AEB-L just sold on the Exchange this morning. See: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/carothers-dek-1.1857695/
