• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

What are all the steel options for this? Elmax or another tough stainless would be a coo addition to d3vl! Did you say 80crv2?!
 
just received the materials for the prototype today!



waiting on a little feedback from the man in the big pants before I get going.

And, a note; this has been said multiple times, but the materials I'm using to build this things ARE NOT reflective of what CPK will use for the final product
 
I don't recall actual spec's being mentioned as this is still in the design pahse. If you scroll back to page-3 of this thread, Nathan and Lorien talk about the concept. I like how it's shaping up so far :D
 
3/8" linen micarta will provide a lot of material to work with, and although I ordered 3/16" steel I will be getting it machined down to around .15- .16", which will provide a handle with a minumum thickness of 1/2"

some general changes to the sketch I posted are; a slightly less 'locked in' handle design, more belly and a wider blade. This will be a great general purpose cutter, and by that I mean you'll be able to cut your food with it, as well as a number of other things.

the blade is around 4.25" and the handle very slightly longer than that
Here ya go
