CMFTW (Charlie Mike)/ Valdyr Designs (W. Anderson) Collaboration.

[W. Anderson]

This is a design that I've been working on since 2012. Many, many revisions in both plastic and cardboard have been made since then. Late last year I finalized what I felt to be the optimal design in CAD and had a friend at the local machine shop waterjet a blank.

I don't grind, but Charlie Mike does, and I have worked with him in the past, and can certainly say that his stuff is top-notch, and he's a lot of fun to work with. I've worked with a few other makers over the past decade and his communication is the best I've experienced.

So here we have it:

.18" thick 80crV2 at 59 HRC, 4.5" blade length. Scales made of vintage rosewood 1911 grips.

That looks nasty even for CM.

We should start a pool on when you are going to cut yourself on that thing

It looks like a weapon that the Vikings would have loved to carry...

 

[Charlie Mike]

Nasty weapon, even by my standards.

This looks really scary. In a good way.
