Hello everyone. I was hoping to get this done today and, well, "I love it when a plan comes together" (Col H Smith). I recently purchased a Civivi Vision pocket knife, and I really like it. Wasn't sure if I would like that shark lock or whatever they call it, but it is fun to fidget with, and doesn't get in the way. I figured, "Why not make a fixed blade version of the Vision?" This was the result, and I quite like it! The steel is Crucible's CPM M4 at 64HRC. As always, heat treat done in house using "cryo" quenches and the "Delta" protocol for enhanced apex stability. Those of you that know M4 are familiar with its amazing wear resistance and toughness, giving excellent edge retention. Those of you that know me know I like thin stock and thin grinds, this being no exception. The blade even has a pretty heavy distal taper for a needle like tip, and very thin geometry behind the edge. I don't think you will find M4 this thin with such a thin geometry in a production knife, maybe a custom. The handle is ghost g10 with white g10 liners and SS pins. All grinding is done under flood, and the edge was sharpened using resin bonded diamond stones to ensure carbides are cut. I think the knife makes for an excellent EDC or paring knife! Kydex sheath included
OAL: 7 7/8"
Blade: 3 1/2"
Handle: 4 3/8"
Steel: Crucible CPM M4 64HRC

Paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com). Generally, the first person to send PP gets the knife. If you are interested, I recommend posting something like, "I'll take it! Funds sent." and sending payment immediately. No need to ask if it's still available. If there is ever a conflict, which hasn't happened yet, I will refund your PP immediately. I also take Venmo, DM me for the address, it's my wife's account and I forget the address. All knives come with free shiping in the USA and a lifetime unconditional warranty. I'll repair or replace, pretty much no matter what. Just understand that I like to use thin stock, thin grinds, and temper most steels for a slightly harder blade than you might be used to. I highly advise do not try to cut throught nails or stab a car door, things like that. Just use it to cut stuff, like it was intended. If you have any questions, send me an email or DM me. Email is same as the PP address. Thanks for looking!
