This is sick...
Is the waved Voyager tanto or drop point ? I'd love to see a picture of it open if possible ?
I always dreamed to see CF making a tanto Voyager with thumb "disk" as it is on the Spartan...

It's a large SPANTO Voyager... :thumbup:
Reground of course. Started here with the wave mod:
Ended up here:
A thumb disk would be cool but I don't have the skills/knowledge to get that done LOL. :thumbup:

Looks great ! I love the belly of that spanto ! You are making me think about buying one and try to grind it for myself...It's a large SPANTO Voyager... :thumbup:

It's hard to do the wave I thing, I meant - to do good, clean cut without damaging the surface around...
When I did my Rat1 mod I asked the knifemaker to put a thumbstud where the wave is, you can see the drawings below, but the steel was too hard to work with in such a thin blade, the guy did his best but after he went trough two blades, we left it the way it was, actually the knife have a broken piece of the tap in the wave right now
I'm thinking about the Kershaw / Diskin flipper, I might have better luck with such design if I go with something that have less chromium, a new waved/thumb disk blade of maybe 154cm ?
Anyway this spanto looks great !

Gerber StrongArm.
Received today, I easily give it a 10 out of 10 for the knife itself.
While this certainly will not replace my 'Survive! Knives' GSO 4.1 (M-390).... this is an excellent high value knife for the price.
I read about this at the beginning of 2015, I am not and have never been a Gerber Fan(boy), but after reading all the reviews, viewing every video on YouTube... especially the several "Gauntlet Reviews", I bought one on Amazon for $39.15 total.
Read all the online reviews (incl. Amazon, other knife forums etc.) and view the Y.T. 'Gauntlet' videos for all the exact specs.
I regard any review/s by anyone that not only has "never actually owned one" or "never actually had one in hand" to be a non review.
Great value for a very purposeful hard use knife.
The knife steel is no issue for me.
The handle design: ergos/tacky feel are all great.
Insanely sharp on arrival, will probably have someone convex it for me.
Interesting multi functional (3 or more) sheath design, though many find the snaps can pose some issues.
(There are after market sheaths out there: Kydex or Carbon Fiber)
Light weight: 7.2 oz (204 g) - Overall Weight: 10.9 oz (309 g)
For a knife that is "Made In The U.S.A." it's excellent for what you get at this price point.
It can pry, dig, slice, slash, stab, the spine throws sparks effortlessly.
A lot of fun to use.
Really a steal (no pun intended).
