If someone could help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Got 3 of CRK's one-piece fixed blades ( Shadow IV, Shadow III & Project 1 ) and I'm toying with adding this very interesting blade to my collection. But there just aren't any "real" pictures around. I've done some searchs but I'll be darn I can't find any posted here ( at least none that haven't been copied and pasted from knivesforsale.com websites ). So if someone actually owns one of these blades ( PiterM ? ) could you post em for me? Thanks! :thumbup:

As for the question....I'm getting about 3 different specs of the OAL of this blade, one site says 13" another says 11 5/8" CRK says 11.8" and yet another says 12 1/2"....so again if someone actually has one, could you measure it for me and tell me the real OAL? Thanks! :thumbup:
 
Nkonka (3V)
Blade length (from tip to guard) : around 7.5"
Handle length : around 5.1"

So right about 12 1/2", which would make sense. Seems to me that his one-piece knives that have the 7.5" blade are 12 1/2" OAL.
3V!!!:eek: Joe you lucky dog you!!! :thumbup: What # you got?

I would like to know if the screwdriver set up would fit into one of the other knife handles, like the mountaineer ot aviator.

Yes the OAL of my 3V nkonka is 12 1/2"
The number is 107

I have seen spear-point 3V nkonka for sale before, too bad I couldn't afford it at that time.
