Newt Livesay “82 Airborne” - Wicked Knife Co.
This knife is as ugly as it gets. Middle knife in top pic.
The grind is not even, probably ground drunk, the patina is everywhere, the sheath looks like it’s been in combat zones 20 years ( actually the whole knife does ). The steel is .25 thick, hand ground , differentially tempered 1095 ( with a hamon you can see if you look past the patina). This knife has linen micarta scales, hand shaped and comfortable as can be, held to the full Tang with love-less bolts. The hollow saber recurve w swedge slices like a carpet knife or box cutter. This knife is balanced for FIGHTING, it will make sense once you hold it.
Again , this knife is ugly and won’t be winning any Beauty awards. Again, this knife is a Combat style knife, intended for hard use.
Kydex sheath with perfect retention, right hand carry loop.
I won’t mind keeping this one, it’s nasty as hell & well loved.
SOLD $185
GL Drew - small utility / hunter. Steel is 1095 ( I believe?). Knife has a generous handle made of black micarta ( fits large hands well ). Blade has a hammered finish on the flats and a semi polished primary grind. Grinds are a little uneven at the bottom of the plunge line / Ricasso . Edge has been convexed at 20 degrees per side. There is a slight roll at the belly , towards the tip. This knife has a 90 degree spine. This knife likes to cut , well. I’ve used it on meat and it performs. Would probably make a great little hunting knife. I would compare this blade to an Esee 3 in dimensions and usability.
Ambidextrous leather pouch style sheath w belt loop.
SOLD $60
Now for the production knives.
Esee 5 stripper - it’s .25 thick, it’s convexed , it’s still has some coating in a few places. It has a slight roll / chip in the belly , towards the tip. It will pry , baton , chop , dig , sharpen up quickly, pull your belt down and probably never break. Factory kydex w spring clip. Beast of a knife.
SOLD $80
Hogue EXF01 - A2 tool steel. Sharpened with a 22 degree convex ( cuts like .25 thick razor ). Black ”gmascus” ( g10 ) scales. Minor coating wear in a few places. This is actually a really well designed knife ( I did not think so until I used it ). The blade is built to take a beating where it needs to be, the fat is trimmed elsewhere. The sheath is secure and silent. The handle is very comfortable. I won’t mind keeping this one if it doesn’t sell.
SOLD $145
Vehement / bark river - MACV SOG CPM3V
Catch and release. I’ve cut cardboard, meat, and paper with it. The knife is a beast at a little over .26 thick. The handle is leather, scuffs here and there. The edge is obtuse, but it cuts well ( zero convex ). The knife is smaller in person than it looks in pictures ( just my opinion), it’s a good size for actual use.
I have the sheath and box for this one.
SOLD $185
I am not looking for trades
I’d prefer USA sale
