Milled Backpacker!

Beautiful! How thick are the regular ones? How much does this guy weigh?

The first run was .080" and this second generation is .090". I changed thicknesses because that was what my supplier had plus .090" is a great combo of tough and light.

I weighed a few and they are roughly 19-21 grams. The milled one is 21 grams (3/4 ounce) As a reference my truck key weighs 15 grams...
 
nice work - love the silhouette, milling is clean, looks like a good size for EDC or hiking pocket carry.
unfortunately, single bevel and southpaw do not mix well.

Much appreciated!

This one is a one-off but I do make them in left hand grind.

I just checked and have one LH in stock, it is stonewashed and .080" thick. I'm asking $125 shipped with sheath.


Most chisel grinds work much better when the bevel is on the cutting hand side. ,,,But as thin as these are and since they have a back bevel they work very well in either hand.
 
Nice work Daniel. Glad to see you're getting the hang of using your mill. You know where I'm at if you need anything. :)
