Greetings All:

I normally build this fighter with a 7" blade - the client specified a 5.5" blade and Rc 59-60. I like the look of this shorter fighter. All comments welcome. Here's the specs:

.187" CPM 3V
HT to Rc 59-60
10 1/2" OAL
5 1/2" BL
Pinned/soldered double guard
Red liners/tapered tang
Black linen micarta
Stainless furniture
Satin finish

 
Very nice looking knife and very nice finish on that CPM 3V.
 
Appreciate the feedback fellas - the finish is 600 grit cork, then superfine scotchbrite. Any finer than this on the vanadium steels and it starts to look blotchy.
 
That looks fantastic. I think the 5.5 inch blade really works.
