Charlie Mikes new love

CM wanted me to make him a blade based upon the Randall Model 14 with a higher hollow grind.
It started life as a bar of CPM 3V .210" and was given a liquid nitrogen treatment resulting in a 62c.
The guard is 416 stainless with a hammered finish on the face and black linen micarta handle.

With the higher grind and swedge this is really a sticker.

Great work! A knife any Infantryman would be proud to carry.

Awesome rendition of a favorite old classic with some nice extra's being the 3v and an all full tang. Very nice work, how thick is it now?

Looks like a handy fighter.

This will replace/supersede the TGLB I sold a couple months ago. Same size, finer edge, less weight, more traditional than tactical looking.
