REK Ember fixed blade discussion thread

[Murphjd25]

Hey Josh, maybe I missed it, but what are the specs on the 3s?

I am really partial to a FFG, but yeah that swedged drop point is kinda sexy!

So.... what do you guys think about this. Here's the new blade shape and I'm also doing a new choil configuration!

And... ffg to make it a pocket razor or keep it a saber grind like normal? thoughts?

that's awesome brother!! it's ~6.9" OAL with a ~3" cutting edge

That’s the best I could do brother. That od green burlap man I can’t get over it.

I'd love to see a picture of all three Ember models together for comparasion.

Maybe Coleman has a 3.5 and a 2.5 he can get a pic with when the 3s get up north? Sharp & Fiery ?

I’m sure he most definitely does not have a 3.5 or a 2.5

Ya JJ, I can do that for ya. When the 3.0 arrives, I’ll update this thread with a photo of the 3 different sizes.

 

[REK Knives]

Btw what steel are you working with on these Josh?

They are all magnacut (~63hrc).

I'll measure later today but the blade length is 3". Basically it's right in the middle between the 2.5 and 3.5 to fill in the gap

I'm glad someone has all three, because I don't lol!

 

[Murphjd25]

I was just thinking today, I actually haven’t even sharpened my 2.5 or 3.5 yet since I got them from Josh. I use them pretty dang frequently and they are still RAZOR EDGE sharp. Magnacut is pretty dang good stuff and Josh got the HT spot on.

I'm really looking forward to the 3" version.

Me too Big DJ, me too!

So is the 3.0 going to be like the middle child, or mom, or the bastard step child?

The million dollar child.

I’d be down for a 3.0 drop point.

Thanks, JJ. It is a pretty special one. It’s very humbling having such a talented friend such as Josh is.

Hey Josh, my 65th birthday is coming up next month.
It sure would be nice to celebrate it with one of the swedged, drop point, 3" Embers........
