Hey guys, here is the first of another new design I've been working on. Most people I showed the designs before their completion tended to prefer this one, and now I can understand why. It's not the craziest design, but it just works.

I'm asking $185 shipped inside the US for this one

Specs:
OAL-7 3/4"
Blade Length-3 1/2"
Steel-.165" CPM3v heat treated by Peters Heat Treating to 61 hrc
Handle Material-Antique black micarta of some sort, I found a huge block of it, and love working with it
Pins-G11 pin and a g10 tube
Sheath-Leather Pocket sheath made by my dad

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

I sincerely wish I wasn't broke at the moment, because that thing is killer. Such a wonderfully refined and aesthetically pleasing design. Well done sir!
 
I like the design. Maybe consider one at a later date with a bit longer blade.

I doubt this one will last very long.
 
Looks like a good user, and the sheath is nice, tell your dad he did a good job in it.
 
Great design. I just have one question. The 3v steel is known to be extremely tough but is it so tough you could baton with the tip of this blade and it hold up. I don't know why anyone would want to baton with the tip; I'm just trying to get a feel for just how tough 3v is. I have a 4 extra blade but it's much thicker so it doesn't tell me much. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I appreciate it!:thumbup:

martinsanders, I normally grind my tips pretty thin so they are nice and fine. I wouldn't baton with the tip, but chances are it would roll and deform instead of snapping off.
