loreno S35VN drop point, ***PRICE DROP***

[grizzle]

hey guys got this one up.

So I got the knife from a knife maker Eric Loreno here on the forums.

It sat in a pouch for over a year, and aside from being fondled and cutting a few pieces of paper its brand new. This knife was hand ground by him. Then got a 400grit satin hand polish. HT done by Peter's. I dont recall if he made his own sheaths but this one is one is very well made. Retention is firm, but release is silky.

about 3mm thick, s35vn steel. handles are white g10 liners and stabilized and dyed black ash.

asking 230 shipped (includes pp fees)

I really like that knife. Great scales, liners match nice, good Steel.
Have you got measurements? Overall length blade length? I'm looking for a good Bushcraft knife? Can you tell me how thick the handle is? Thank you

yea she really is a little beauty, and would make a nice bushcraft knife. Eric usually makes his knives from 52100/AEB-L, so this one in s35vn is one of his more special pieces. Also I apologize, I should have posted the specs for this guy earlier but here they are:

steel: S35VN
Overall Length: approx 8.5 in
Blade Length: approx 3.85in
Cutting Edge: 3.75in
blade thickness: 3mm or about 1/8 in
handle thickness (tapers): approx 1.7cm-2cm

** tapered handles used to make more balanced knife

if you have any other questions, or if you would like to see a specific part of the knife please dont hesitate to ask

Flat or swelled?
Thanks...

it is 'flat' to preserve the look of the wood burl, and the sides of the handles are rounded.

its comfortable, and looks good. If traction was a key concern tho, like knife fights in the rain or something, might wanna go for something with rough g10/palm swell/lanyard hole
