This is something a "little" different! It is a "mini" version of the hunting knife design I've been messing with lately. I wanted to go super thin on this knife and leave it fairly hard. It's only 5 7/8" long and extremely light. Made from AKS 52100 bearing steel, hardened and tempered for a final HRC of 64-65. This was a project to sort of push the envelope on thin/hard. The pre sharpened edge width was only ~0.004" with a full flat grind. It is easily the thinnest knife I've ever seen! As a side note, the bevel angle formed by the primary grind is only 1.7°!! The handle is made from Red Heart, and secured with brass pins. I don't see many knives like this, I wish there were more similar to it. I made one for myself with a cord wrapped handle and have been very pleased with it during light cutting chores.

OAL: 5 7/8"
Blade: 2 3/4"
Handle: 3 1/8"
Steel: 52100 @ 64-65HRC
Edge: 30° inclusive, 3 micron (DMT EEF DiaSharp) "Tree-topping" sharp!!*

*It will easily sever arm hair that's still on the arm! It is incredibly sharp.

What a fantastic knife, unlikely thirds...
black mamba black mamba if you ever want to get your funds back, Keep me in mind!
 
Wonderful....wish you had a few more of these for sale.
Keep pushing the envelope. Thinner is a winner.
 
I was so close to snatching this one (yes, I saw it within 10 minutes of being posted). The only reason I didn't was because I've got a slightly larger version (CFV at 63, and purpleheart)... but I still thought about it because I like 52100.
You've got yourself a great knife, black mamba black mamba - enjoy. (Yours is a little smaller; but mine fits great in a leather G3 sheath)

Click to expand...

I did the same exact thing....have the other CRV Purpleheart......
 
Thank you all so much for your interest. I think this one goes to Black Mamba. I DO have another one of these in the works. It may be a while before I finish it and post it, as I have received a few custom orders recently.
 
I agree... I also almost jumped on this one...slim and hard and sharp the perfect knife... :) especially since I'm in the market for an apple knife
