The Vixen is discontinued. However, I have 2 more blades to use up from my stash of heat treated blades and this is 1 of those. The other, and last, I plan to do in a convex grind.
This is the first knife for sale with the new logo for 2023. Text size and font for the spine etching has also changed for an updated look.
grind: scandi
blade length: 4 1/4″
overall length: 8 7/8″
steel: 1/8″ 80CrV2 @ 61 Hc
handle: Grip finish black canvas micarta
handle thickness: 3.5-4/5
hardware: Copper pins and tube
Sheath not included.
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 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 60-61 hrc 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.
