New model = Pikal Paring Knife

Hmmmm, Green Canvas and tubes...perfect companion to one of Dans larger knives...;)
 
Dan,

Is there one left, hard to tell from the post. If there is please let me know and thanks.

PT is of course fine
 
gundy - I initially wanted to use just lanyard tubes...but was concerned about food particles getting stuck inside them...and also I wanted the handles to have a mechanical fastener (corby pins). Maybe I can add a lanyard at the back on the next batch? (like the bushcraft)

How thick would the liner be??

Would like the same overall thickness.

Liner would be 0.020" thick, each side. (all I've got)

I was wondering, what steel would be best, as many custom knives in my price range are usually carbon steel, which can impart a funky taste to food.

I guess S30V would have no such problem, particularly, if you wash it soon after handling food with it?

I wonder, does 2.5" give you enough blade length, to slice an apple in half? I wonder if just a little more length in the blade is needed, to do more then peeling fruit?

Yes, S30V is ideal. I am also considering doing them in CPM154 - easier to sharpen.

You can reach the core, but cannot halve an apple at once. As a dedicated paring knife...I need the length to be short enough to be highly manuerable. Plus 2.5" of blade makes it nearly 50-state legal for carry.

The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Yep, make one in orange G10 with a kydex sheath and I'll buy it ASAP.

Deal!!



All of the blanks pictured in this thread are spoken for....but the next batch will be in CPM154 and will have G10 on them - orange, black and red. :thumbup:


Thanks for all the interest so far!

And yes, I do plan on offering a light/simple kydex sheath with it. :thumbup:

SWEET!!

:D
 
Wow - that's a gorgeous knife.

Looks like I'll be upgrading my kitchen knife drawer soon...
 
Any more of these coming around, Mr. Koster? I'd love to see a picture of one in a kydex sheath. Would there be a lanyard hole option?
 
Yes - I plan on making a run of these too....probably in CPM154. :thumbup:


I am finishing up a set of 4 this week....will definitely post pics!!

These will all have 3 lanyard holes.

Please keep us posted on these clever little honeys. Even wrapped in kydex, they might not frighten the hoplophobes.
 
Dan, how about cutting the handle down, it's a little long for placement on my duty belt (guess I need to put on a few pounds) that's why I asked about trimming it to the second pin.
 
Yes - I can do one like that - how about in the next batch?
 
This knife looks awesome. If you offer it in natural or green canvas micarta with a tube and 6 inches overall I would like to get one. A sheath for neck/pocket carry would just sweeten the deal.
 
planning on finishing them up today - and getting a kydex sheath on it too. :thumbup:
 
Dan, please let me know how much for the pikal + kydex sheath and I'll paypal you ASAP.
