Production 3.0 is coming along nicely! Stonewashed magnacut. This is just a proto. I'll be grinding the edges and doing the sheaths and laser myself haha

Tell us more!!

I have been using this bad boy the last week or so my goodness it is an awesome slicer WOW !!

I'll start working on them soon... USA made, magnacut 63-64hrc, .093" stock thickness (so thinner than usual). I'm waiting on the scales to be made and in the meantime I can start making sheaths and sharpening edges and doing laser (those 3 things I'll be doing in house). The goal is to have the least amount of time into them that I can so I can get the price point down to around $220 w/ the sheath.

do you still wear it as a neck knife?

I've never carried it any other way since getting it. (Especially since Coleman had concerns with the sheepsfoot in his pocket sheath, which is fine for the drop point.)

So, yep.

Hey Josh, are the scales going to be a little thicker than the last run?

I thickened them up to accommodate for the thinner blade stock... When mounted the handle is .570 thick. You can check yours there with a caliper to see the difference.
