Small Model 4 Kit built for me in 2000. Stellite 6K and carbon fiber, no liners. He mortised a titanium lock bar into the side of the carbon fiber for weight savings—knife weighs just 2.3 oz.
Note the convex serrations, a signature touch of his. Will not snag on rope or other fibrous materials, unlike most serrations, yet it cuts like a chainsaw. Such a craftsman.
Rest in Peace Sergeant Major.

David Boye casts his Stellite 6-B blades and calls them Boye Dendritic Cobalt (BDC). He also casts 440-C blades and calls them Boye Dendritic Steel (BDS).

Brian Harrison made me a custom Stellite 6-K blade for a Buck 110. It was a little thick behind the edge, so it took a while to sharpen.View attachment 2504241
