"Reaper" folder- custom build

[JB Knives]

Another one, on the way to its new home! This one has my new standard folder build- .080" thick titanium liners, which engage almost 2/3 of the lock face on the 1/8" thick blade.
Rock solid lockup and scary sharp!

Here's the specs:

•8 1/2" overall, 3.5" blade, 5" closed
•.125" thick, 1 1/2" wide 154CM blade; Paul Bos HT and cryo temper at 58-60rc
•Carbon fiber bolsters and black/ blue G-10 scales
•.080" thick titanium liner/ lock; open build design
•Phosphorous bronze bushings at pivot, hardened steel detent ball
•All stainless steel torx fasteners, stainless steel pivot and thumbstud
• black pocket clip


Thanks for looking!

I really like the profile of the blade, in particular the back of the blade and the shallow but very practical finger grooves on the handle. Looks great!

[spyken]

very nice, is the primary edge supposed to be a curved (hawkbill) or a straight edge (wharnie)?

 

[JB Knives]

I'm glad you're happy with it!
To answer your question, spyken, it's somewhere in between- it's more of a wharnie, although the edge has a very slight curve to it to help with slicing.

That turned out very nice indeed.
