Fantastic group of knives, Chris. It seems like you really put a lot of effort into this batch.
Since this one is still here, and because coming back and looking at it every hour or so has been wearing me down...
I will take:
Warthog (Guardless Variant)-
3/32" (.099") CPM154 Tapered Tang
Charcoal Grey G10 over Grey G10 w/ Black accent liner (Sandblasted)
OAL 7 1/4"
Blade 3 1/4"
3.52oz
$290.00
Thank you,

Chris, I really like your 3" to 3.5" designs.
And your take on the shorter blades (2" to 2.5") is excellent also, just a tad short for me personally as a utility blade. I'm also glad you are doing CPM154, and would welcome other high end stainless steels if that becomes practical for you to get heat treated. E.g. XTS-XHP, PSF27, S35VN, and anything in the M390/CTS204P/20CV family. I like S90V and 110V, but know they are a pain to grind and heat treat.
I cannot believe that warthog is still available...weighing on my mind.

I do have plans do offer S35vn in the future. I also have some 3v I have been wanting to try. My main focus outside of the CPM154 is to get familiar with S35vn first then try the 3v, I also have plans to try 80crv2 on some of my bigger knives.
All good to hear. For knives 5.5" and larger, I really look for CPM3V these days. Admittedly, I'm a steel snob, but the performance difference between A2 and 3V is pretty significant when 3V is heat treated well.
I had to look up the composition of 80crv2 yesterday. It's like 1080 plus 0.6% chrome and 0.2% vanadium... good choice for a 10" or larger blade, or the Fiddleback machetes (which are excellent ... I have a 12" and 16" model, and the "ping" they make when cutting is music to my ears, to steal a line from someone on this forum).
