Blade Style: Fillet
Blade Material: 52100 forged from roller bearing.
Handle Material: Cocobolo and tapered tang with hidden pins
Sheath: Boltaron, Olive Drab, .093 thick
Blade Length: 8.5"
Edge length: 8"
Overall Length: 12.75"
Grind Type: Flat ground to spine with Distal taper
Blade finish: Hand Rubbed
Hardness: 62RC
Price: was $195.00 now $150.00
Just finished this 8" fillet knife I forged from a roller bearing. The blade has a distal taper and the tang is also tapered. The Cocobolo handle scales are locked in place with hidden pins. The blade has a flat grind from the spin to the edge and has a very thin edge. The sheath is made from .093 thick OD color Boltaron with black eyelets. Included below is a picture of the blade in its forged state. I forge my blades as close to finished profile as I can and leave just enough for cleanup. This being the case, at times not all the forging marks can be removed. This blade cleaned up very nicely and only has one little forging mark in the center of the handles finger groove. Blade was normalized and cycled down in 100 deg increments from 1675 to refine grain. After final quench blade was measured at 67RC and double tempered to reach 62RC. Price includes shipping within the United States.
Thank you, Jarod Todd
