Hi Everybody,
I have for your consideration a hand ground, one of one, completely unique, titanium knife.
It has...
A carbidized edge for better edge retention.
Rounded g10 scales that are removable.
Chain ring handle fasteners that act as a lanyard hole.
Jimmping that is functional, but not obnoxious.
Convex ground for strength and ease of cutting.
Unique heat coloring with blues and purples.
Kydex sheath with gun metal eyelets. Sized for small tek-lock. Drain hole.
Carbidizing gives a slightly toothy edge, it will slice paper, or shave arm hair just fine. But, it is much more effective on fiberus media like cardboard, rope, meat, or hide. Carbide is used for saw blade teeth, drill bit tips, and abrasives. It is twice as stiff as steel, and is a 9 on the MOHs scale. A diamond is 10.
It also has the added benefit of effectively sharpening itself. As the softer titanium ( about 40 on the Rockwell hardness scale ) wears away on one side, it exposes the much harder ( aroud 75 rockwell ) carbide on the other side, giving you a constant working edge.
Titanium is extremely light, strong, and will not rust.
It is also extremely abrasion resistant, hard to work with, and expensive. That is why it's not widely used by knife makers without CnC machines.
This knife is made of premium materials, and should last a life time, if not abused.
Specs:
3oz ( not including sheath )
3.75 inch cutting edge
8 inch OAL
3/8th inch wide at handle.
Asking $225.00 shipped in continental us.
Pay pal is preferred
First I'll take it, gets it. I will pm you a PayPal link.
Also I'm not sure how to resize the pics, sorry. This is my first sale here.
Questions or comments welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Justin
