Available by DM only or if you already have my phone number you can text me or call me. No emails, I thought about getting into the whole code word thing, etc. Just no.


Carried this for a few months and ground it super thin. Smashed it against my wood stove while batoning kindling and reground it to a pseudo wharncliffe to remove a chip. There is nothing wrong with the heat treatment. I had it less than your standard kitchen knife thin and batoned through a knot and hit the wood stove underneath.

The resulting chip was pretty small and after the regrind it’s now about .008” behind the edge. So you can imagine how thin it would have been before. It is AEB-L at 61 RC, with a suretouch handle. Have a thin grind, crown spine and tapered tang.


Selling as is because I finally decided to start carrying my 3V Prevex. This knife is perfectly serviceable. Given its history and it’s used it’s going for a song. $🤨🧐, including tracked and insured Canada post expedited shipping to anywhere in North America.

I'll take this David. Thanks!

If it's a nice enough blade to carry by its maker surely it'll suit the needs of a yahoo from Ohio. Plus ... it's broke in.
Congrats, the Prevail is a very comfortable knife and feels great in the hand. That Suretouch will be awesome though in that model.

Note to self: ”Don’t baton with it on top of a steel stove” 😉

David,

I actually don't know the name! It's a 4 1/2" wharncliffe blade with thin tapered scales and the butt of the knife comes to a rounded point. Grooved scales with blue pins.

If you’d like to DM me a pic I’ll tell you everything I can about it.
