My new EDC...

[Phillip Patton]

Every year, I like to make myself a personal knife, to test new designs or steels. Here's this years knife.

Steel: CPM M4

Hardness: 58-59

Blade length: 3-3/4"

Total length: 7-7/8"

Blade thickness: just over 1/8"

Handle material: Green canvas micarta

This was forged from 2" diameter round stock. The tang taper was forged in, and the blade has a deep, fine hollow grind. This is the first knife like this where I took the grind all the way to the spine. I like it.

BTW, I am not taking orders for knives in M4, unless your willing to pay an outrageous amount for it...

Thanks for looking!

now that exemplifies a tapered tang! fantastic! the only thing i'm not sold on is the sharp angle where the ricasso meets the scale. but shoot, that's about the most minor detail a guy can notice! i love the look of this knife!

Philip,
When you make your new EDC next year with a new design and new steel, let me know if you are willing to part with your 2009 model.:thumbup: Thanks! I really like that knife!

I really like this one. If you need someone to step up to the plate and suffer through extensive testing of the design or steel, I might be convinced to do my civic duty.

That is a beautiful knife, sleek and elegant yet remarkably simple in design. Excellent job.
