My Hinterland heavy field/combat model in Crucible's venerable cpm3v tool steel, with a 7" blade, black linen micarta scales with thick forest green G10 spacers/liners, and a stonewashed finish. Thickness is 1/4", full flat grind, rounded spine, tapered tang with thumb ramp, jimping and "tipless" glass breaker pommel. This is a large, full-function field knife that chops very well but is also very versatile.

The finish on this one has been tumbled, acid washed, brightened with Scotch Brite, then tumbled again for a "layered" stonewash that reminds me of a hologram, different highlights jump out when viewed from different angles and in different light. Comes with a tuned Kydex sheath that offers secure retention and one-handed draw, with my exclusive heavy-duty QD carry clip made from .120" Kydex. This attachment allows multiple carry options in addition to functioning as a high-ride belt loop.

The first few of this design went into military service and the feedback has been excellent. Although most troops prefer to carry smaller knives these days for practical reasons, this knife is a good friend to have in a hostile environment.

Wow, that looks awesome! snwbrdr_202 posted this over in the Swamp forum to attract fans of similar knives. I sure wish I had $350+ laying around...

Er... I am curious, maybe it's a trick of the light but the spine shot gives me the impression that the tip isn't in line with the pommel... any other spine shots to clarify linearity?
 
Thanks man! The photo of the spine was not taken from a perfectly vertical positon so the curvature of the spine (in profile) makes it look like the tip is skewed off center, although it is straight.
