Finished this one before I head to a GTG this weekend, but I'll make it available here too.
$365 - Lioness:
Saber grind with vintage linen micarta bolster and "burl" crazyfiber handle. Complex burlap divider. Des Tan & Pewter liners. Mosaic pins and brass tube.
Includes JRE sheath ($335 w/o sheath)
5 blade | 9 3/4" overall | 1/8" 80CrV2 | 4.5/5 handle thickness
Kydex and hand made leather sheath options are also available.
I began making PL knives in 2016. I've done leather work for over 20. I added kydex to my repertoire in the last 3 years. The heat treat on all of my carbon steel knives is done by me in a thermostatically controlled Evenheat knifemaking kiln. Each blade goes through a 3 stage normalization process, followed by heating to austenitic temperature and quench in Parks 50 oil. Then it goes through a 2 stage tempering process. Hardness is 61-62 hrc. 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.
