Stag Drop Point Mirror Finish

Patrickknives · Feb 23, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my classic drop point hunter in A2 blade flat ground with heat treat by Paul Bos. A2 is a high carbon (1.00 %) tool steel with a small amount of chrome (5.2%) for corrosion resistance. I have been making these in O1 with micarta and wood handles and now steped it up to Sambar Stag. Guard and Pins are 403ss.

The blade is flat ground and sanded to 2000 grit then polished. The edge is ground to about 0.015 and convex with a cutting angle of about 12 degrees to make it a real slicer.

These knives are real cutters .. See it slice in the link below..............

picked up this knife today and have just arrived home and unpacked it.
WOW, what an attractive knife, not because of any single feature, but all of it. it has "flow",the curve of blade spine and handle is perfect. and to say awesome thick stag is almost understatement. the very thick stag also gives the knife heft and substance. i love the blade shape and think the grind is perfect too. and sharp !
so thank you Patrick, i am a proud and happy owner of a very special knife.
