I finished this "revolutionary" knife Friday and have been enjoying tinkering with it over the weekend! If it looks familiar, I sort of based it on the newish Benchmade "Anonimus" (these names), changed a few things, and called it the Guy Fawkes Hunter! The original knife is intended to be more of a survival/tactical knife, but my version is really meant more for camp, hunting, and even kitchen duty. It has a thin blade of CPM CruWear at 63HRC with black g10 handles, red liners, and aluminum tube stock pins. The handle works great for either choking up on the grip for fine cutting, or relaxing the grip towards the back to aid in a chopping cut. The grind is a full flat grind terminating in a very slight convex edge. The edge is "V" shaped, but right at the shoulders is slightly convexed. You guys know me, this thing has thin geometry. It's meant for game processing, not "tactical stuff". The heat treatment included a pre-quench and temper anneal, then hardened and quenched with aluminum plates, forced air, and into a sub zero "cryo bath", then given triple tempers, with "cryo" between tempers. CPM CruWear/PM Z Wear is simply an amazing "super steel". It retains almost the same toughness as CPM 3V, but with that higher carbon content, it has more carbides for better wear resistance and edge retention. One of those steels that works with just about whatever blade you need. If you watch those nutty guys on YT called DBK, you know they test the crap out of knives and steel, and CPM CruWear is one of their favorite. For good reason! It just works!

Paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com). This is also my email address, so if would like to contact me, send me a PM through this site or send me an email. All of my knives include free shipping in the USA as well as a lifetime worry free warranty. If anything goes wrong with the knife, I'll repair or replace it. You can't beat that! I would also like to mention that most all of my work includes thin stock, thin grinds, thin edges, low angles, and high hardness. All of this combines for excellent edge retention and a very pleasurable cutting experience. I ask that the buyer understand that my knives are not made for the masses like most commercially available knives. They are tools meant to be used as intended and with care and common sense.
