Fighter 52100

J A Martin · Nov 26, 2006

Finished this fighter with a 6 1/8" blade. Steel is 52100, fittings 416ss and an ironwood handle. This was the first forged 52100 I completed and I really enjoyed testing the prototype to destruction to test the heat treat. I found it red hard compared to what I usually work with. I see why Ray Kirk swears by this stuff. http://www.jamblades.com/uploads/fitr.JPG

That is great looking knife with an exceptional piece of ironwood for the handle. Well done!

That is one of the knives that just grabs you right away as an awesome piece. You just want to fondle and own it. Looks top of the line, IMO. If you have any knives you would like to sell let me know
