Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

Thought some of you guys might be interested in seeing a Free Rein 28 next to a K20. Free Rein gets a little less blade and a little more handle (which works pretty well) and I like the implementation of this handle better than on other similar Busses. That said it lacks the smart and subtle sculpting of the K20. Weird marks on the FR blade are from the fishnet Busse ships these in I’m looking forward to whacking some stuff up with both and seeing how they compare

Just a glimpse at a new one Paul / CPE_Knives CPE_Knives is making for me. This will be my „last knife“ :) To be continued…

Mean’t to post this yesterday, but the file was too large. A generous soul, reduced the file size for me. Photo by Sharp by Coop.
This one is from David Mirabile. A favorite maker of mine. The blade was forged from W2 stock, in the Jimmy Fikes “cloud cutter” style. The handle under-layment is carbon fiber and the lace is carbon fiber, also. The handle end cap is made from ancient walrus ivory. The “bolster” is kind of neat, I think. It is carbon fiber that is molded and shaped around the blade and lace, sealing the interface. The blade is relatively thin at about 0.165”. The blade is 13-1/4” with the overall at about 21-7/8”. It feels well balance and very lively, and fun.😊. David also made a lined kydex sheath for it. He mentioned that he made a similar piece that he uses as his truck knife.😊

Thanks for looking. Mike

Received this beautiful Leuku in CruWear (CW) steel from malanika malanika . Holy cow, it’s superb and razor sharp, scary sharp. Slices paper about as good as a razor. ~.185” at the spine and a sharp 90*, should throw one heck of a spark. Other than the UF2, this Leuku is the lightest knife out of these CPK’s. Leuku weighs in at 11.40oz and feels very light in the hand.

I'm curious what your cartridge is? It looks like you turned the neck... I had the pleasure of doing that to 500 brass for a wildcat.
