I got a new prototype done last friday, been messing around with it to see how I like it.

I got a piece of cpm s125v a while back and have been meaning to use it. It is very interesting steel. very hard 65rc.

fun to grind hard! it has a .020 thick layer of 410 stainless on the outsides that you have to grind off first. The finish on this blade isnt great because I wanted to test the steel and didnt feel it was unnecessary to put a great finish on it. Plus, you will need to use some ceramic based sandpaper to sand the dang stuff after its hardened!!! so it has a belt finish on it right now.

this will be one of ym first line folders that I will be doing batches of soon:)
Specs:
Blade;
4", .190 thick CPM S125v

Frame
.220 ti, 4.75" long sandblast/stone wash

That's why I have pretty much stopped buying production knives.

Once I got a taste of what a true lefty is like, I have no desire to buy rightys anymore. While your style drew me to your work, your lefty option is what made me place an order with you. :thumbup:
