Good deal Dan. No sheath needed for mine so I should be seeing it soon. Thanks

Hey Dan,

I sent you an email on March 6th 2012 saying this:

Hi Dan,

I paid for my knife back on January 26th 2012 for my bushcraft and have yet to hear back from you or receive the knife.



Jan 26, 2012 Payment To Koster Knives Completed Details
Payment To Koster Knives **Masqued transaction ID**

I have still not heard back from you. I would like to have news please.

 

[Daniel Koster]

TheNick - I sincerely apologize. I have found the box - it was under another box that was in my "waiting for payment" stack. It's now on its way. Again, I apologize for the delay.



I have now shipped Bushcraft 12c27 stainless knives/sheaths to the following:

Hi Dan,

Any status update for mine?

 

[chugokujin]

Me too, sent the check on Jan. 23rd. Emailed ya, but i guess you've been busy.

 

[Daniel Koster]

justinxbailey - I'm waiting on the leather sheaths - they should be shipping to me this week.

chugokujin - yours would have mailed on Friday except that I forgot to add the FS loop to the kydex sheath. I'm doing that today. :thumbup:

A few down and dirty shots. Will take better pics later.

[Daniel Koster]

Here are a few more. I really like the contours on the handle and that jimping is so tough it would stop a 18 wheeler. Nice!

Extremely nice knife. Love the handle conture. Blade thickness looks about perfect as well, is that 1/8" ?

Best regards and congrats to this beautiful piece.

Yes - for me, this knife is perfect. It is light/easy to carry, yet long enough and sturdy enough to do a hard day's work. The steel is easy to sharpen, stainless, yet has enough carbon in it to compete with carbon-steel knives. The contouring in the handle makes it very comfortable and nimble.

I'm definitely doing another run (or 2....or 10!!!) in this steel.

more thoughts....



I've used D2, O1, CPM154, S30V and ATS-34.

But I've narrowed it down to just these two - 3V and 12c27. 3V is an amazing, super-steel. 12c27 is a perfect cutlery steel. The specs on it are amazing. Works easily in my shop, and sharpens to a finer edge. I just wish I could get it in sheet form!

Dan,

If I am not mistaken you have also used 1095 (in my beloved woodlore psk blank), and this is also *very* nice. I haven't tried your 12c27, but the 1095 psk is probably my sharpest knife (also easiest to resharpen) that I own. After hours of carving it still shaves hair off my arm. When it does eventually get dull it takes few minutes to resharpen with my waterstones (1000 / 6000 mostly).

Do you plan on making another psk / woodlore run with thin stock like the one I have ? (It's around 2.2mm)

Maybe in 12c27 ?!

Best regards.

 

[Daniel Koster]

I have a PSK list open right now - in 1095 steel, 0.100" thick (2.5mm)


I am definitely considering making it in 12c27 as well. :thumbup:
