I can’t believe I’m doing this, but here we go…
I’ve got a very lightly used K18 (cut one pumpkin, one cardboard box full of styrofoam and a couple small branches in my yard) and an unused Boot Dagger, that if I’m honest are collectors’ pieces and therefore unnecessary. That being said I’ll offer them up for sale and see if someone wants them more than I do. Both come with sheathes and the Boot Dagger will include a separate set of wood scales on natural micarta liners.
K18 - $2800
Boot Dagger - $1400

This is what I found interesting looking at Mark's grind on the CR35. The scratches run parallel right off the tip. I might have tried to twist to stay perpendicular to the curved edge.

Mark puts a big twist in at the tip. You can have a turn to keep the grind perpendicular at the edge. But you can also twist the blade coming up onto the tip. The grind itself is actually a shallow helix. This allows you to put a little meat behind the point without making the edge overly thick.

This is an advanced grinding technique to perfect (he also feathers the grind out towards the edge into a parabola, it's not a constant radius) and it is not something that can be done using a jig.

Grinding with a jig is a perfectly good way to make a perfectly serviceable knife, but it does limit you. Mark is one of the most skilled grinders I've ever met.
