Hi all, this one is a prototype for my Nightstalker.
(the upcoming ones will be in CPM-M4)
This one is made of what im assuming after spark testing to be M2. It rusts too quickly to be D2 and the sparks are much darker more like my M4 stock. I know the lack of precise identity of steel decreases value which is why im not asking more, but it is still a functional and durable knife. It took a lot of prying between boards to get the point to break on a similar knife out of the same steel and it was much thinner and i was throwing that one a lot and stabbing a brick repeatedly and it was easy to sharpen the damage out. its strong enough to hold my weight standing on it so for a daily utility carry i imagine its tough enough for normal circumstances.
Olive drab canvas micarta can be cleaned easily with dish soap i discovered on my esee, just a side note. the steel was too hard for a cobalt bit so i epoxyd it on a bead blasted surface.


I did some asthetics with the spindle sander, blade thickness is 1/8th, edge length is 3 1/8th, oal is 8 inches.



i finished this one with 220 grit and used a buffing wheel on the edge but i was planning on mirror finishing the edge before i sent it out. due to lack of time no sheath with this one, asking 75 usd free shipping.
 
thanks jeff! i got a friend interested in this one and imbringing it to sell this weekend so maybe itll get picked up. yay bills lol
 
thank you, it is very functional and performs well. with esee and survive knives im worried about a design dispute of some kind but i hope its different enough im ok with calling it mine. i like looking at your stuff too :)
