CNC milled C2 curvature continuous surface geometry...

Our plunge has gotten quite good, if I do say so myself...

Agreed. All of it is very good.

The old Field Knife had a conventional tangent plunge. The HDFK is an experiment in a different kind of geometry there. This picture is kinda cool because you can see the difference. The old tangent point is more distinct.

I tried for a couple detail shots, and that was my favorite. There is a LOT going on there!

Nathan the Machinist How do you estimate the bark finish would hold up to corrosion?

I'm playing with my prized Carothers like a lil girl playing with dolls today (and don't tell me most of you girlie-men do not! ) so thought time for some photos instead of watching the NFL (my team moved, good riddance so I'm now a free-agent so I have 31 teams I would root for and 1 which I won't!!!).

Anywhooo, pics were taken indoors, no filters and no retouches other than rotating and resizing: (more to come from the handle scales individual close ups)

^^^ the Shiv is not cerakoted, just the shadow of my fat belly is strategically in the way just because Mr' B^2 has those gorg cerokoted versions and I'm a bit jelly

I think that the LC antique micarta handle scales are in the darker to darkest (?) of shades but you can still see the finer details in the close up:

^Three great knives, with outstanding scales all around. Beautiful wood, but there is something spectacular about the milled steps of the Shiv scales. My fav.

And what a coup, Nathan finding all that antique micarta, and bringing out it's magnificence through edge cutting.

 

[Casinostocks]

The Utility Fighter's (UF) handle scales are in Cocobolo and I think it took Nathan quite a bit of exposing them in the Sunlight in order to to achieve the desirable look (he can correct me or elaborate if he wishes):

Lastly, the one which Bob is talking about, i.e, the Shiv's milled scales:

 

[Hard Knocks]

Because you are obviously cool. Crazy..but cool. Be careful!

I have GOT to remind my wife of this!!

Zombie on fire duty. mmrrrrrrrr.....

Is that natural or antique? Either way, it looks great.

 

[Casinostocks]

^ that must be natural buffed micarta. Antique micarta scales come with black liners.

 

[WValtakis]

I'll toss mine up here too


And yes...the plunge is fantastic

Casinostocks has it right, buffed natural micarta.

Even zombies deserve rest

Hey zombie, get us some beer!

Chipmunks have a nice fruit stash nearby

Very fun testing the knife out in relative comfort away from the storm. Thanks Nathan and Jo for the excellent tool to accompany us on the trip.

Pull out a pile of those ZTs to play with and it will all be forgotten!
