Lauri Leuku 175 Carbon steel blade blank
Carbon Steel - 80 CrV2
60/55HRC ( 60HRC file bites / 55HRC files skates )
175 mm long and 36 mm wide
about 3.2 mm thick
Price $55Aus with free shipping from Nordic Edge .
This is my second blade from NE , the first being the Brisa Trapper in Elmax . ( The blade was a little disappointing due to the edge having micro chips - Im not going to sharpen them out as they only affect paper slicing )
Anyways , this is my 2nd DIY blade .
Plan was to PARA chord wrap the handle .
To this end I glued on some wood grip panels , shaped them & did a para chord wrap .
The knife turned out a little larger than expected ..
But , I kind of like it anyways .
I was thinking of doing a scandi edge , but @ around 11 degrees ? Is it too tight ? I think so ..
I'll just have wet stone grind a fresh edge onto it ..
