CPM3V with Tero-tuf and acid etched blade for sale.

Interesting knife—nice lines and great steel with reliable heat treat from Peters. Looks like a workhorse. If you don’t mind, what’s the little half-moon shaped blemish at the spine a bit forward from the handle? Thx

It is a convex grind, and the handle is approximately 3/4 thick at the thickest point.

Thank you! That’s where peters straightened it. Basically they take a torch to the very edge and heat it up some to straighten it. The half moon section is a less hard section of steel and because of that takes a slight different etch.

They did, I have the receipt. It is a subject of great controversy in the makers section...:) I was surprised they needed to straighten it honestly. I left the edge 3/32 thick before HT and its less than 8 inches long with an even grind. So long as its on the spine I have not seen anyone have issues though. Many makers will unharden the spines on larger knives any way for a differential HT. But Peters has continued to raise prices, if you know someone else who is good I would be willing to give them a shot.
