CPM S90V and Blue linen micarta drop points

[navman]

Finished these two drop point EDC's in CPM S90V heat treated by Peters' to 61.5-62 RC. These are my personal favorite design for EDC. Both feature tapered tangs and full height hollow grinds, resulting in very thin edges, optimized for cutting/slicing. Both have handles of Blue Linen Micarta. Both have 3 inch blades and are 7 inches OAL with rounded spines and thumb serrations. The spines are polished, and the bevels are hand satin to 800 grit. Differences as follows:

#1 has natural linen micarta liners with stainless corby's and lanyard tube. I call this one "jeans" because the combination reminds me of a well-worn and comfortable set of Levi's and a belt.

#2 has orange G10 liners, stainless corbys and a COPPER lanyard tube. This one was not intentionally done to mirror a certain football team colors, but ...

Both ride in Kydex pants and will have an IWB kydex loop.

These are available.

Oh...and these also come with a lanyard bead made from the handle material.

NICE design!! Those do look faded jeans. There have been people a number of years ago that hand made micarta using several layers of strips jean fabric and epoxy. it was a pain in the butt to work with. Your material looks so much nicer!

Thanks Barry. I do not use home made micarta as I find it to usually be of lower overall quality than professionally manufactured stuff. I bought this material from Makers Material supply.
