I want this sold, so price cut.

I decided that in celebration of Osama's official death I'd make something a little different and patriotic.

Price is now $100 plus shipping. I generally ship USPS priority with deliv. confirmation and insurance and that would be $12 to most domestic addresses.
My usual 1080, 1/8" steel heat treated to ~59rc.
Single sided flat grind, at an angle with a clean belt finish and very slight buff on the bevel. Actual edge is a double bevel and can be sharpened by hand or any common knife sharpening tools.
4.5" blade
9" Overall
Handle is red G10 shaped in a traditional hunter/bowie style.
Liners are blue vulcanized spacer material.
Pins are 3/16" stainless and the thong tube is 1/4" stainless, slightly chamfered to protect your thong.

There will be a kydex sheath similar to the one in this post and I'll post a pic of that once it's completed.

Thanks, I think this might be the best knife I've done. A few of my EDC's that never even made it up here are close but this came out very cleanly.
 
Thanks guys. Bill, I can't take full credit for the pattern, it's my own creation but the original inspiration was a knife I saw here. I just can't find it again. They actually went even more extreme with where the bevel fell relative to the handles but had a taller gap as well, sort of like a kitchen knife, so you didn't slice up your index finger. I liked the concept and decided to give it a try on two larger (for me) knives.
For those not real familiar with my usual stuff, this and the mid sized field knife are fairly large for me. Much longer and I run into space issues in my heat treating forge. :rolleyes:

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that these two haven't sold yet. I can understand my little curved EDC's, they're an odd pattern and folks either love them or just don't see the point so they sit until the right person sees them, but this one and the field knife surprise me. Particularly given how I priced them, it's a lot of knife for the money.
 
There ya go, I didn't bother originally since there's really nothing to show. Sorry it looks so grey, it's pretty bright out and it was this or a blinding white glare. I figured this was easier to see the actual knife.
 
good hit ray, b/c i was gonna take it if someone didnt today,he is a up an coming new maker and needs to get his work out there,and it looks like a hellova knife! do a reveiw on the good .bad ugly for us when you receive it,so buyer will know the fit and finnish aswell the quality!
thanks bill
and good job REMRW!
 
Are you kidding me. :eek: I inquired about a larger bladed knife in your 1080 black micarta thin EDC sale post. I don't believe I missed this, and I was on BF alot. Arrrrrrrrrgh!:grumpy:
Sir, again very pretty work. It really appeals to me. So far, pretty much everything you have crafted I seem to like. Now I'm really going to be watching.:thumbup:
 
:) We're still waiting on a final report from Ray, basically letting him get some time actually using the knife. So far the prelim was as expected so I'm looking forward to hearing how it performs in the field.

Right now I'm not making much of anything, my regular job's eating up most of my time and I'm using the limited "knife time" to work on my technique and learn new skills rather than finish knives. I've got a couple knives in process that will be sold but most of the time is going to learning not finished product. Schedules vary though, and as time permits I'll get back to more finished work. I'm looking at doing a run of stainless next. A small one, and it probably won't make me much if any profit, but it'll let me get some experience start to finish with the ATS34 I've got sitting around. If I like it I'll look at ordering more so I can do larger runs and make the heat treating more cost effective. Improving my HT abilities to include stainless and other extended soak time steels is a priority for me but I think a better grinder is first since if I do it right I can efficiently outsource the HT but outsourcing the grinding kind of defeats the whole knifemaking thing. :)
 
I'm a bad boy, sorry. I hate people waiting on me, yet sometimes it happens. I have had a few personal upheavals in my life over the last month or so and have had absolutely no time to use any of the knives in my life except for the users I already had. I take that back, there is a Fiddleback I have been waiting to get for a long time that has moved into my rotation. It's super hot here in south Florida, getting rainy, and my cutting has been reserved to pruning banana plants, cutting bunches, trimming coconut palms, and mowing the lawn. Besides it's not hunting season...

Although I have not used this knife at all, I can definitely tell you it is a gorgeous piece of work, very well made and extremely comfortable to hold. Remy's stuff is very nice and it's easy to tell he pays attention to details and only lets an awesome piece of work leave his shop. He sent a nice write-up with the knife explaining his knife making philosophy as well. Unfortunately I just don't know when I'll be able to put it to use, it's been all O1 and 1075 steel in my hands for a while now. In spite of this, if anyone has questions about the knife they can feel free to contact me and I'll help them out if I can.
 
No worries. When it sees some real use lemme know. :) I've been too busy to make anything new I'm happy with. I've been trying some new techniques but without any real success. I think I'm about to pitch another blade tomorrow if I can't salvage it. :(
I'm the first to admit my work isn't perfect, but I strive to make anything I let out the door as close as my current skills will allow. It might be a rough and tumble piece like the curve I've got up for sale now, or a clean and sleek piece, either way it's got to be something I'm willing to lay claim to before I put it up for sale. One of my recent pieces fell short, functionally it's great, but it had some significant cosmetic flaws that aren't fixable so it'll stick around for my own use. Seriously sharp and a great blade, I'll probably end up making a good sheath for it and putting it with my emergency kit, but I wouldn't sell or give it to anyone.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, hopefully you get some fun time this fall and there aren't any major hurricanes. I'm all for my knife getting some heavy use, but that's not quite the situation I'm hoping for.
 
Keep up the good work, Remyrw, that's a beautiful knife. I love the plunge line and the well integrated curves, will be watching for more like it.
