What’s this??

It's one of my mid-tech Kepharts in 3V. There is a thread in my sub-forum HERE with more info. I just added a clip grind/swedge option. Waiting on a few components and these will be shipping shortly.

This knife looks like a great all-a-rounder. I think the clip swedge option looks good and makes the tip more useful for starting certain cuts. The thing I don’t get is what is the reason and/or utility for adding the cost of a Gun-Kote finish on 3V? In my experience, 3V is not particularly prone to rust. I would appreciate hearing your thought process on this.

Thanks and good luck with your initial release of these.

Thank you very much! And agree with you, that is the reason for adding the optional swedge. Certain cuts and cleaning fish and game, a swedge makes it easier to get things going.

As for the GunKote, the standard finish will be tumbled. I agree with you, 3V does not need a coating to survive. The way I handle this on my website with the other knives is I offer a Custom Shop option. That is where you can add the swedge, add GunKote, etc.

The base model will be sold with tumbled finish and no sheath, so the cost of entry is as low as possible for everyone, or if they already have a favorite sheath maker.

I like that knife, Sam. Handle looks comfy and reminds a little of another Wilson that makes knives.

The blade is by Puronvarsi. The assembly was by me. Sambar stag, rawhide and bamboo.

AEBL for salty conditions?

AEBL for salty conditions?

That and I didn't have any high carbon blades in that model heat treated. Got some off at heat treat now though. He has quite a few knives of mine and usually gets the AEB-L but sometimes the high carbon.
