Here's a knife I made from 5160 by stock removal. It has been heat treated to approx. HRC 60. Gunkote'd finish. Flat ground with a convex edge.
Includes a vertical carry kydex sheath.
If you're going to abuse a knife, this one would do pretty well. I made a few of these over the years and destruction tested a couple, eg. putting the knife between two concrete blocks and trying to snap it with a sledgehammer ... couldn't break it -slabs would come off, but the blade refused to snap. (I don't recommend that you try this as it's pretty dangerous and this one is really sharp
).
Anyway, here are some pictures:
Overall Length: 7.5"
Blade Length: 3.75" (to top of handle scales)
Stock thickness: 1/4"
Finish: Gunkote
Handle Material: Green Canvas Micarta
Price: SOLD + Shipping
It will go to the first "I'll take it" reply to this thread
