Kinda Interesting Fighter

Greg Covington · Apr 21, 2004

This is a 7" bladed fighter with a blade that is a bit over 5/16" at the tang. It has a flat/convex grind and I forged, ground, and heat treated with the direction of Bill Bagwell. He also told me several great tests to perform to see if it was up to snuff. It passed those with flying colors.

It has an extremely agressive edge...holds it well...and resharpens like a breeze. It has that sticky sharp edge like the Bagwell knives that I own.

The handle is osage and I gave it my now "standard" torch treatment.

Whatcha' think? I love using it...so it is a keeper.

This isn't one of those mystery blades, made out of "Unobtanium" is it?

Osage...being as yellow as it is when first cut....I now torch scorch to give it a better color

Ok, so now he's read all our replies and even addressed one of the questions, but still hasnt divulged the steel used, so it must be a secret.

Well..that's kinda true. I promised not to tell

it just was a combination of the steel, forging, HT, and geometry that was all Bagwell style and it came out like I wanted.

However...I am not trying to make a mystery here....it just ended up being a great knife. No super claims, no super steel....but it is an all around "fieldable" knife. Cuts like my favorite Bagwell.
