Good Afternoon,
This blade is made from 5/32" CPM10v ground to 400 grit and finished with an fine scotch brite belt. It weighs 5 ounces and the handle is made from python micarta with copper hardware.
If you are not familiar with CPM10V here is a link with a lot of good information. The toughness is equivalent to CPM154 and CPMS35VN with a much higher edge retention that is similar to S90V. It is a bear to finish because once it is hardened sand paper will barely touch the stuff. I have found a few tricks to working with it that let me get a decent 400 grit satin finish. The hardness on this one is 65rc.

It comes with a kydex sheath which has holes for a Tek-Lok and the package is compact enough that it fits nicely in a front pocket.
Price SOLD , shipping is included to continental United States via USPS. Preferred payment is via paypal.

CPM 10V Steel - History, Properties, and How to Heat Treat - Knife Steel Nerds
CPM-10V steel has been around since 1978! One of the highest wear resistance knife steels. Where did the steel come from? How does it compare to others?
