I made this one for my trip to the Adirondack mountains. It worked well (chopped some saplings for walking sticks, cut some wood, and some other general stuff), but I will make a new one if I go again next year.
This one is offered for sale here.
It is 8670 steel. I originally thought it was L6, because that is what Admiral Steel called it, but I have come to find out that is 8670, which is labeled as L6 substitute on the website. It did harden quite well with a hint of a hamon, and I have been chopping with it quite a bit without any ill effects. I have actually bought more 8670 since based on how well this stuff did.
It does have a full file pattern, from the heel of the spine to the about 3" from the tip.
The handle is black linen micarta, with a lanyard hole. I just used some parachord for the lanyard, and it worked well. The pins are 1/4 inch brass pins that have been stippled for a nice effect.
Kydex sheath.
Dimensions - Blade - 6 1/2"
OAL - 12"
Price - $175 shipped. Paypal preferred to mlwbailey@yahoo.com.
I also accept check and money order. (check must wait for clearance)
