The Flandi grind is a combination of a stout flat grind with a scandi secondary. Cuts wood deep and still slices an apple while being easy to sharpen on a pocket stone. Give one a try!
I'm posting two knives in one thread. Both have similar specs and the same price:
$180 + 12 CONUS shipping
grind: flandi
blade length: 3″
overall length: 7 1/4″
steel: 1/8″ 80CrV2 @ 61 Hc
Sheath not included. Options are available on my website.
Use code JREMAR23 to get $15 off a JRE sheath through the end of the month
I began making PL knives in 2016. I've done leather work for over 20. I added kydex to my repertoire in the last few years. The heat treat on all of my carbon steel knives is done by me in a thermostatically controlled Evenheat knifemaking kiln. Each 80CrV2 blade goes through a 3 stage normalization before being heated to austenitic temperature and quenched in Parks 50 oil. Then it goes through a 2 stage tempering process. 80CrV2 Hardness is approx. 61 hc and my heat treat process produces a blade with extreme toughness and fine edge sharpenability. Scales are glued with West Systems G-flex epoxy. My aim is to produce heirloom quality tools with excellent craftsmanship that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and service.
