Looking for a custom bushcrafter

[NiceNife]

I’ve been shopping around for the perfect knife since returning my Bark River Gunny.

I’m looking for a full-tang 4” bushcrafting knife in CPM 3V in a full convex grind with a similar geometry to the Fallkniven F1. Preferably heat treated to 60+ HRC for more corrosion resistance. I’d love to have a nice handle (maybe dark denim micarta or white micarta) with red liners, and a lanyard hole. I want a knife that’s aesthetically pleasing but can also take abuse. I’d also like a Kydex taco-style sheath for scout carry (not a must-have, but a nice-to-have).

Looking to spend $300 or maybe $350 if the knife comes in perfect fit and finish, while meeting all of the requirements. I get that 3V is only semi-stainless, but it shouldn’t rust/pit under a drop of tap water like the Gunny did.

If anyone is willing to accept this order, please let me know.

TL;DR: I’m looking for a CPM 3V bushcrafter that’s convex and similar size/shape of the Fallkniven F1 with a sexy handle and feel of a Bark River Gunny.

Here’s kind of what I’m looking for. Nothing really fancy.

These Woodsmans have a 4.25" cutting edge and are in 3V. They have a convexed secondary bevel that I could regrind to a full convex if you wish. Prices are close to what you are asking for. The finish on the steel is one that allows for field maintenance and a little touch up with steel wool or a scotchbrite pad as needed. When you go to a tumbled or higher grit finish it becomes harder to maintain the finish of a knife that is used. Shoot me an email or PM if your interested.
