Heartwood: combining aspects of the Kephart and Woodlore knives
grind: convex
blade length: 4 1/4″
overall length: 9 1/4″
steel: 1/8″ 80CrV2 @ 61 Hc
handle: vintage linen micarta handle with vintage milk chocolate paper micarta double bolster
handle thickness: 3.5/5
hardware: Center mosaic. Natural micarta pins and tube
Sheath not included.
I began making PL knives in 2016. I've done leather work for over 20. I added kydex to my repertoire in the last few 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 3 stage normalization before being heated to austenitic temperature and quenched in Parks 50 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.
