I’ve been shopping around for the perfect knife since returning my Bark River Gunny.
I’m looking for a full-tang 4” bushcrafting knife in CPM 3V in a full convex grind with a similar geometry to the Fallkniven F1. Preferably heat treated to 60+ HRC for more corrosion resistance. I’d love to have dark blue micarta scales with red liners, mosaic or black pins, and a lanyard hole. I want a knife that’s aesthetically pleasing but can also take abuse. I’d also like a Kydex taco-style sheath for scout carry.
Looking to spend $300 or maybe $350 if the knife comes in perfect fit and finish, while meeting all of the requirements. I get that 3V is only semi-stainless, but it shouldn’t rust/pit under a drop of tap water.
Are my demands too absurd for this price range?
On a different note, what is your favorite stainless steel for bushcrafting? How is Fallkniven’s laminated CoS steel compared with the CPM 3V?
