CPM-M4 with Carbon Fiber 15" Survival/Chopper

[GILLSON]

Hello fellow forum members, this is the first knife I am offering for sale on BladeForums. With my knives I aim to combine high specification materials with user oriented ergonomic design.

Offered for sale is a large, hard use survival/camp/chopper in CPM-M4 steel with carbon fiber grips. The handle is designed and contoured (final step is wet sanding by hand) to provide full control and comfort in all grip orientations. Front and rear lanyard tubes provide for additional control and security with either used in a single lanyard setup or dual lanyards for absolute control during hard use. Please see below for full specifications and purchasing info:

***- The belt loop is left/right carry reversible and can be mounted for carry height to any of the eyelet pairs with the included Chicago screw fasteners; Also, it may be preferred by some not to use the belt loop and instead carry the knife in a pack as is suited to a knife of this size

Thank you for the kind words and compliments, greatly appreciated.

With my designs, once the intended use and ergonomics have been addressed, I work on refining the aesthetics to be as clean and as proportionally/visually balanced as possible.

I am hoping to have a Persian design that I've been working on completed for listing/sale by the end of this week. I know Persian blades don't seem to be all that popular but I hope my design can be appreciated by some fellow forum members. BTW it will be much smaller (9" OAL, 5" blade, 2" tall x 0.150" thick) and high-spec stainless, CPM-S35VN at 59-60 HRC.
