Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well! This is what will probably be one of my last offering of the summer. I'm heading off for my freshman year of college this Saturday, so that will be it for a while. I have a lot of knives finished and waiting for sheaths, and my dad will work on the sheaths while I'm gone, so I will be able to post knives with their completed sheaths when I come home on breaks. If this one doesn't sell before Friday I will have to withdraw it and post it again when I get home.

I'm asking $180 shipped inside the US for this one.

Specs
OAL-8 1/8"
Blade Length-about 3 5/8"
Steel-5/32" CPM3v heat treated by Peters Heat Treating to 61 hrc
Handle Material-Aged endgrain black micarta, cut off from a big slab
Pins-g10 pin and g11 tube
Sheath-Leather horizontal belt sheath made by my dad
The swedge is not sharp

Pics: - sorry, the pictures came out a little funny because of the rain







Thanks for looking, please let me know what you think:)

Looks great! Love the satin with the black. Is the handle here the same size as on the last Curvy Horizontal?
 
In my opinion when you put aesthetic curvatures to the geometry of the blade, particularly the spine, it's hard to carry out that look into the handle and the handle be ergonomic, matching to the lines of the blade, and it's still flow neatly from the tip throughout the entire knife. This is missed by many knife makers when trying to make a functionally "cool" looking blade. This has the entire package based on appearances and other similar handles I've held (i.e. The Kershaw tilt handle is similar). Someone posted a picture of a handle on a new knife coming out in production that attempts to make the handle look "cool" with the blade and as he said it looks neat but that's where it ends because the ergonomics are just not there with hot spots to boot. I'd like to see a brother to this knife with a harpoon grind and leave all the other grind lines exactly the same as well as the handle. You didn't just knock this design out of the park you hit a grand slam and hope and quite frankly expect a production company to pick this design up and make it part of their line with your name a royalties attached one day. It literally is that fresh and well done and rounded out.

Thanks a bunch for the kind words. By harpoon grind do you mean a harpoon tip?

I'd love to see one of my designs put into production one day, that you be so cool!!!
