Hello Master! I am interested in your spyderco military.. I would like to trade a very nice custom knife away. I have a low post count but have completed many trades on knifeforums.com so I know my stuff!
Here is the beauty of a knife I'm trading:
I am willing to trade a very high quality custom knife. The knife is custom made by Mike Cantrell. It has a 1075 carbon steel blade with a very unique heat treatment(notice the zig-zag on the blade). It has custom made Cocobolo wood grips and bronze pins. An od green 550 cord lanyard will be included. The lanyard lets you get a better hold on the knife. The fit and finish is what you expect of a custom knife made by hand. The leather sheath is a nice brown, is very thick, and fits the knife perfect!
Specs:
Overall: 5 inches
Overall (with lanyard): 7 1/2 inches
Blade: 2 1/4 inches (I know it sounds small but is perfect for day to day cutting tasks)
Cutting edge: 2 1/8 inches
Steel: 1075 high carbon, hand forged spring steel
Scales: Custom made Cocobolo wood scales
Pins: Precision fitted bronze pins
Lanyard: OD Green 550 paracord
Grind: Almost full flat grind
Sheath: High quality leather. Friction fitted
Please let me know if you want to make an offer!
The heat treatment on this knife does more than add visual appeal(see pics). It is designed to make a stronger and more resiliant blade. The edge of the knife is treated so that it obtains a very strong and long lasting edge. The upper portion is not treated allowing flex of the blade without snapping. And it looks cool with the zig-zag!
Thanks!! (It would make a great bushcraft knife.
