Wanted to showcase a recent purchase. A while back defaultuser was showing this knife off, I fell in love with it, and when he put it up for sale I considered it, but wasn't the biggest fan of the sheath. He made another knife just like the first and it is a beauty! I carry it often with my modified PSK by Adventure Medical (the Doug Ritter one).
I don't like sheath straps usually since they are so easily cut, so we put our heads together and came up with the design you see. Strap is one the spine side and holds securely. The holes are for lashing for a little extra security on a pack, belt, or your leg.
Fire made with fatwood and knife. I did not use the striker, used the knife spine instead. Threw little fireballs! :thumbup:
Thanks again defaultuser for taking the time to make me such a great knife. Interested parties can find him hanging around here on W&SS. He is a part-time maker, so patience is important. He is very communicative and aims to please, so working with him is terrific. :thumbup:
Specs by defaultuser:
- CPM S30V steel, heat treated by Rob Ridley at Ranger Original.
- RHC of knife was 59.5 on one reading, so the edge should range from 59 to 60.
- OAL 8.5", 4" blade lenght, thickness 1/8"
- Convex grind, small "v" edge
- Hand satin finished
- Cocobolo handle, brass 1/8 pins, stainless steel lanyard tube.
- Leather sheath designed by me
