---=== Elmax Fighter {Double edge and carbon fiber} ===---

[BenR.T.]

I just finished up this Prototype 6" fighter. It is a longer version of my Scout, with a double edge. The blade is Elmax and I gave it a nice stonewashed finish. The handle is carbon fiber with red liners, carbon fiber pins and a copper tube. The tang is tapered and it balances right at the guard. It weighs in at 8.8oz. and is very fast in hand. The top edge is sharpened.

It is marked prototype on the reverse side of the blade.

The sheath is heavy duty leather that I hand stitched with 150# kevlar thread. It is designed for IWB carry.

Very nice, Ben. Subtle color pops pull it together and the lines are great. Looks like a joy to use!

That's awesome. Glad you found some Kevlar thread. That's some tough little thread huh?

Yes it is Mason, it really cuts into your hands when stitching. I doubt I will do to many sheaths with, but it is certainly cool!

Ben,

Flawless as ever, I like the little copper skull as a touch of class in your photo. That knife is got straight forward, no no nonsense, I mean what I say and say what I mean all over it!

Question, when you are stitching up your leather goods, are you using an awl and sail makers palm? Or a class three sewing machine, I wonder?

 

[BenR.T.]

Thanks.

I actually use my drill press for making the holes before I hand stitch them.
