Hey, what is going on everyone. I hope you all are having a good start to the weekend. Here is another one of my fighter style designs, and maybe my favorite version to date. The grind on this one thickens significantly as it reaches the tip, so your left with a nice thin grind where you need it and a stout tip. It's still

Asking $250 shipped inside the US.

Specs:
OAL-8 3/4"
Blade Length-4 3/8"
Steel-Cpm 3v heat treated to 61 hrc by Peters Heat Treating
Handle Material-Aged "endgrain" black micarta
Sheath-2 position leather dangler made by my dad
Swedge is not sharp

Thanks for looking, please let me know what you think,
Drew
 
You can feel how pointy that thing is through the pictures. Another sharp looking knife.:cool::thumbup:

Drew, in the top down picture showing the handle contours, the first inch or so of the swedge looks nearly as thick as the steel on the thumb ramp and the rest of the handle. Is that so or does it come to a relatively thin grind like it did on the one I purchased?
 
Sweet knife,sharp pointy and you can`t go wrong with 61 hrc by Peters on 3v:)
All with a nice sheath to carry it in,well done.

Hey, thanks for the comment! The swedge tapers from there, but stays pretty thick the whole way. This is how i normally do my swedges, your blade is definitely the exception:cool::thumbup:

Yea, I cut it off a giant chunk that probably weighed 70 lbs. It is pretty cool stuff:thumbup:
 
Your work is awesome, Drew. You've managed to create your own, uniquely recognizable style. Still enjoying my mini-kwaiken. Your Dad's sheath work is top shelf also, and I know he's proud of the knives you're turning out. Please keep it up!

Hey, good to hear from you again! Glad to hear your still enjoying your knife, and I really appreciate the kind words :):thumbup:
 
Would you please post a photo of the top view of this knife. I would like to see how it thickens toward the tip, as well as the configuration just in front of the thumb ramp. Beautiful lines by the way.

Thanks, I'd be happy to snap a quick pic of it tommorow for you.
 
No problem, I believe it is around 5/32" but I can give you an exact measurement tomorrow too:thumbup:
