Finished this walkabout in CPM-10V, which is an absolute BEAR to work with, I would rather finish three CPM S90V blades over one 10V blade. This one has some very dark dyed maple burl with toxic green G10 liners. The burl reminds me of a stormy night sky...so I am calling this one Walkabout-Nightwalker! Features a brass and carbon fiber mosaic pin, represents both a compass and the North star.
Blade is hollow ground on a 24" radius platen and hand satin finished. The blade is CPM 10V (A11) heat treated by Peters' to 63-64 HRC. Blade is 3.5 inches with an OAL of 7.5". The spine is rounded and has 30lpi thumb serrations. The tang is tapered and has the purple/blue/black dyed maple burl with toxic green G10 liners and copper hardware. Rides in a hand stitched black leather sheath with dark blue stitching and some pebble texturing at the throat.
Cost is $290 shipped CONUS.
