Those who know my work, know that I work very hard to provide excellent geometry and ergonomics in unique and useful designs. All of these are made to be used and to make your life easier. A few are carbon steel neck knives, and in my experience they work very well, despite sweat and moisture. YMMV. To commemorate this historic day and as a gesture of love and gratitude to my American friends, I am offering what I have in stock today at prices lower than I really should. Seven hours only; this sale ends at 11:59 pm July 4th twenty twenty three. I have been very busy lately with the move and with orders, but should have more time soon. So whatever knives don't sell today will get clean up and sold later at full price later. But given most of these will patina anyway, this is your chance to get some great performing, useful knives at a discount.
I offer combined shipping discounts. With a low price sale like today's you get $10 off the second knife you buy, and $15 off every knife after that.
How to buy: In the thread let me know which ones you're taking. Then send me your email address and I will email you a PayPal invoice, which gives you buyer protection. I will ship to the address in PayPal (unless you specify another one) via tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense and liability. If you want to email me, my email address is in my sig if you turn your phone sideways.
Thanks for looking!

Suretouch is an ingenious handle material, which consists of colored G10 laminated with durable and grippy black rubber, combining the best qualities of both materials. You will find that Suretouch has great grip, even when smooth. I find that even a smooth Suretouch handle feels like it is glued into place in my hand, even while wearing slippery gloves or mittens. Suretouch also has a very slight amount of give to it so that it does not feel as rock hard in the hand as straight G10, adding further to the handle's comfortable feel.
Boltaron is a thermoplastic like Kydex, similar in price, but with a molding temperature about 30° higher than Kydex. This means that it is functionally identical to Kydex in all climates except that in high temperature climates it is a far superior choice, as it is much less likely to lose its shape if left in a hot car, for example. The only drawback to Boltaron over Kydex is it is available in fewer colors.
Holstex is a thermoplastic like Kydex, but with an artistic design molded into the outer surface. It has the same durability and resistance to the elements as Kydex.
15N20 is a most excellent carbon steel, very high in toughness, and as expounded by the extremely knowledgeable Dr. Larrin Thomas, is the best in its class for optimal balance between toughness and edge retention at a hardness of 61 RC.

15N20 steel toughness
There was a discussion recently about the toughness of 15N20. I tested that along with some other stuff. I have an article and a video. Article: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2023/03/22/how-to-heat-treat-nickel-knife-steels-15n20-8670-l6/
