Okay, this one is not in the hand yet. It's on it's way to Matt Draper for a sheath first. But I am EXCITED!
After receiving Jerry's Millenium Bowie in CPM 3v, I wanted a matching carry blade. Jerry had some smaller FB's that I was interested in but I wanted some modifications: a rounded pommel instead of sharp, and a small sharpened top right at the tip for a backcut and a sharper point. Well, here's the result -- the Millenium Stinger:
Based on the Millenium Bowie I got from Jerry, I know this handle is going to fit like a good glove and the blade will cut like a laser. What I really want to test is how this top edge will work compared to a double edge blade. The only double edge I currently own is a Gerber Applegate Covert with the top swedge sharpened. This blade, however, is a little over 1" shorter than the Stinger. Nevertheless, upcoming is a review of the Stinger vs. double edged Covert.
Stay tuned,
