Orange G10 with a Twist

[TekSec]

Here is the latest rendition of my firesteel knife. I'm working with Storl, another BF member to sell these. Changes include a set screw in the firesteel cap to allow the end user to change the rod if it wears out. The set screw also locks into a notch in the handle to hold the rod secure. Just twist a 1/4 turn clockwise to release the rod, 1/4 turn counterclockwise to lock it in. There will be 5 available for delivery around mid-October on the first batch.

Blade: Flat ground 1/8” O-1, hand sanded to 400 grit
Heat treated by Peters’ Heat Treat to RC 59-60
Handle: Orange G-10 with removable firesteel (ferrocerium rod)
Pins: Stainless Steel
OAL: 8 ½”
Blade (Cutting Edge) Length: 4”
Purchase: GoinGear

That I'm not sure of. You can PM Storl on bladeforums or use the contact info on the site to ask the question. I'm just the humble maker, he's the financial wiz

I'm assuming yes, but Storl is may be willing to layaway one for you. Just email or PM him.

Are these gonna have a sheath? If so..what does it look like? thanks. Gene

 

[TekSec]

Thanks guys! reseller and I thank you for the business. He has not updated the quantity, but has requested an additional 5 units from me so there should be 10 total (minus the 5 that have spoken for) so hopefully you all will enjoy your blades.

Yes, a kydex sheath. Here's a pic of the prototypes, the production will be same style but better formed. Had a misunderstanding with the oven on this one so it didn't form quite right...

How far is that going to push back the ship date of late October?

I had already planned ahead for 20, but I know for a fact the initial 5 will be shipped on schedule. The additional 5 MAY be shipped at the same time. Regardless, the mid-October date for those of you who have already purchased is still good.
