My hobby WAS rescaling blank blades, or modding existing blades.
I have gotten away from it as I no longer can be trusted around Power Tools. I stay a bit dizzy from a Stroke, some days better than others.
Anyway, I had 50 of these bull nosed Utility blades. They are made from 440c Stainless and hardened to 58-60.
I have scaled these with every kind of material imaginable.
When I quit using power tools, I had 9 of these left.
I decided to cord wrap the remaining and give away as gifts.No power tools needed.
I was saving these 3 for Xmas gifts, but my Spyderco Addiction has over extended me a bit. I am sure most of you know what I mean.
Wifey is a good girl, but she does have limits.
So, I am needing to sell these.
$25.00 PP and shipped lower 48.
I'll let the pics tell the tale, but the main particulars are:
1 Triple Orange. Cord, end piece, and kydex sheath (neck/pocket). $OLD
1 OD Green cord, black end piece and sheath. $OLD
1 ACU Camo cord, ACU gray end piece, black sheath. $OLD
The 1st I'll take X color gets it,
or take all three.
These Utilities are great for scraping, box cutting, envelope opening, making fire sticks, cutting food at camp, crafts, and survival tools. Strong enough for levering (stay away from the tip, like MOST knives), sharp enough for whittling, push whittling, etc.
Great for bug out bag and camping gear kits.
Wear as a necker, or take off neck lanyard and carry in the back pocket.
Wrap was put on wet, so is very tight. I also grooved the tang to retain the cord. The wrap isn't coming off under normal use. I also super glued the cord at the back hole to prevent it from loosening. But it can be pulled off if you need the cord for fastening something in an emergency.
One of my friends took it further and made a pocket clip for his. (Not for sale, obviously). This was one I did for a gift when i was still able to do this kind of work.
