Hey guys. Let me know what you think.
A tactical, easily concealed self defense knife. Easy to carry it while your walking to your car at night.
Heat Treatment:
Blade was cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened to @ 1500 degrees, until blade became nonmagnetic, then quenched in 125 degree quality oil. Tempered the blade to a straw hardness @ 425 degrees for 1 hour, letting it air cool and repeating once more. Blade was file tested and is shown to be very hard.
Steel: 5160 Steel.
Finish: Baked on mat finish, for durability
Handle: 5160 Steel.
Sheath: Hand stitched Gator Hide pouch included.
Measurements:
Tot Length: 8 "
Blade Length=3 ¼ " Blade Width= ¼ to 1 ½ Blade Thickness= 3/16"
Handle Length: 4 ¾ " Handle Width: 1 ¾ "
Weight: 7 oz
Below are pictures of the finished knife.
Thanks
