I began making PL knives in 2016. I've done leather work for over 20. I added kydex to my repertoire in the last few years. The heat treat on all of my carbon steel knives is done by me in a thermostatically controlled Evenheat knifemaking kiln. Each 80CrV2 blade goes through a 3 stage normalization before being heated to austenitic temperature and quenched in Parks 50 oil. Then it goes through a 2 stage tempering process. 80CrV2 Hardness is approx. 61 hc and my heat treat process produces a blade with extreme toughness and fine edge sharpenability. Scales are glued with West Systems G-flex epoxy. My aim is to produce heirloom quality tools with excellent craftsmanship that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and service.

Really like the way you scalloped the thumb scallop to give us another pop of color from the liner. Never seen it done that way before.
 
Thanks! Just depends on how deep I have to go before the scallop feels "right." Turned out to look good with the pins on this one.
 
I love the shape of the blade and the orange liners. I'll bet others are wondering how much a sheath would add?

Thanks, It depends on your sheath preference. I offer a JRE leather sheath at a discounted price of $35 when purchased with a knife. I do kydex sheaths with a variety of options for $50. Hand made leather sheath is $75.
