Selling my Calavera Cutlery Model 4
The Model 4 features a 3.5" blade comprised of Carpenter CTS-XHP steel! I don't have much experience with the steel, the knife is brand new and un-used. CTS-XHP is my brother's favorite steel however. He talked about how nice it is to sharpen, as well as boasts it's edge retention.
Beautifully stonewashed handle 4.4" comprised of 6al4v titanium.
Overall length 8"
Hardware: hardened 416 SS
Two screw takedown
This knife features an interesting run of jimping along the spine of the blade that allows for one handed opening via using your thumb on the jimping and rotating the blade around the pivot, and over the top of the handle. It is very smooth, centering seems to ever so slightly favor the show side of the knife. This may be due to the lockbar pressing against the blade, or perhaps the pivot could use a slight adjustment. It has a very nice detent! I can't see this knife ever opening in your pocket, regardless of what you're doing. I cannot flip the blade out, however it has a very smooth deployment via the cutout in the blade, and also the jimping method I described earlier. Lockup is absolutely solid, and looks to be right about 30%.
Made in San Diego CA, USA by Jeremy Robertson. Comes with original package tube and stickers. I believe these go for 650$ from Jeremy. I received this blade in a trade, it is new and un-used. And it can be yours for PRICE DROP $575 TYD CONUS.
Let me know if you'd like to see any more pictures of this gorgeous blade and I would be more than happy to send some to your Email.
Thanks, NeverdullNick
