Hey guys,
This is my newest model I have available. Im calling it the Fjord hiker. These turned out seriously awesome! It is designed to be a go to companion knife for everything you do outdoors. At .22 thick of 3V, its tough enough for batoning and hard work while its thin grind makes it a great slicer and cutter. I took these down to about .15 before the final sharpening so they have great geometry. I ran the 3V at 62 for extra edge retention. The handle feels like it belongs in your hand and is made for hard cuts into wood without fatiguing the hand. It also has a nice exposed tang for hammering.
Here are the specs
Steel- CPM 3v at 62 HT by peters
Blade length- 5
overall- 10
Thickness- .22
Blade height- 1.35
Skeletonized tang
Fasteners- stainless flared tubes
Sheath Kydex
Finish- stonewashed
All prices are shipped, paypaled, and with a nice kydex sheath. I offer a lifetime warranty against any and all damage or breakage that ever occurs during use with these knives. If you break it, I will fix it or replace it and pay your shipping both ways. I also offer a money back guarantee. If you aren't happy with your blade, send it back and I will return your money or get you a knife that fits you better, AND pay for your return shipping. PM me or email me at huntsmanknifeco AT gmail DOT com.
1.) Up first is a blem in orange G10 at a discount. This one has a deeper swedge and a lower grind. I can't decide which style I like better. As for the flaws
1.) This one has slightly uneven grinds where the swedge and main bevel meet. The flats extend further on one side.
2.)There are also a couple small pock marks on this blade that I couldn't surface grind out.
3.)Finally my makers mark is not as dark as I would like.
Asking $SOLD shipped for this blade. It will make a great user!
Next up is a non blem in black linen micarta. This one sports a smaller swedge and slightly higher grind. Only flaw on this blade are some grit marks can be seen under the stonewashed finish in the right light. This steel is crazy hard to finish at this hardness- almost like M4. I am working on a finish that will be perfect and not drive up the cost.

Pock mark. There is another one on the tang by the lanyard hole
