A unique, one of a kind combo. Great color on the burl. It was a hybrid scale set, but there's only a tiny amount of the resin at the front of the scale. The rest broke off when I was planning it to thickness, but that's ok. The wood is much more interesting.
grind: flandi
serial number: 15
blade length: 3 3/4″
overall length: 8″
steel: 1/8″ 80CrV2 @ 61 Hc
handle: hybrid, dyed, stabilized maple burl over black G10 liner over coarse weave micarta liner
hardware: vintage paper micarta pins and carbon fiber tube
I've been producing PL knives for the past 8 years. I've done leather work for over 20 and kydex for 5 years. The heat treat on all of my carbon steel knives is done by me in a thermostatically controlled Evenheat knifemaking kiln. Each 80CrV2 blade goes through a multi-stage normalization before being heated to austenitic temperature and quenched in Parks quench oil. Then it goes through a 2 stage tempering process. 80CrV2 Hardness is approx. 61 hc and my heat treat process produces a blade with extreme toughness and fine edge sharpenability. Scales are glued with West Systems G-flex epoxy. My aim is to produce heirloom quality tools with excellent craftsmanship that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and service.
