My name is Ryan, I’m a rather new maker! I have a rather simple philosophy with knives, I keep the design simple! I’m not really into fancy knives. I build working class blades!! Most blades are tested extremely hard so you don’t have to! I convex grind all my blades and finish with a 20 degree micro bevel. Blade is 3 inches long, .150 thick. Black canvas micarta, held with corby bolts and epoxied to the tang, with a kydex sheath. Sheath is sized for a small tek lok. This is an introductory knife! It’s light and durable. It’s in 3v heat treated by me in my evenheat kiln. 58-59 rc. Low temper cryo method. At this hardness, it’s really easy to field sharpen, and it’s extremely tough! I’m asking 125$ shipped through PayPal. Most of my blades are finished with a scotchbright belt, on this one the flats are not polished, just a rough finish! Tooling marks are visible. Pricing seems fair, considering the raw steel price! PRICE DROP 125$ shipped
