Thanks Guys!!
This is one of the fancier ones so I decided to post it. I've had quite a few Emails regarding this knife, the 3/16" Talonite material and other questions.
As far as weight.... The tang is tapered AND drilled, balance is right at the finger notch, just behind the integral guard. I don't have a scale, I know weight is important. I have a scale on my purchase list!!!
Size....This one is a tad over 8 3/4" long so it's a little too long for neck carry. I call it a 4" blade but it measures 4 1/4" from the bolster to the tip. EVERY one I've sold, except one has been supplied and is carried in a IWB static chord sheath. This is based 100% on customer demand. I started making them with belt loops and everyone took them off
:grumpy:
Talonite and thumb grip serrations.... NO, they cannot be done with a checkering file!! Each groove is milled in and equally spaced using a carbide endmill in my benchtop mill!! My steel knives are done the same way prior to heat treat.
Thanks for the great Emails and well wishes for '03!!
I'll be at the Bladeart table at the Vegas Show, stop by and say hi!!

PS....I forgot the CZ is my wifes!! She's getting back into shooting again
