Gentlemen:
For your consideration is my interpretation of the Loveless Chute in CPM-154 with a hidden tang. I make these both full tang and hidden tang - this is the very first HT model I've made. The butt of knife is made of 7075 T6 aluminum - the same stuff they use for aircraft landing gear. By using this material the balance is correct for the knife - neutral balance is just behind the double guard. The clip is sharpened on this knife - I can dull the clip edge to make it legal in some states at the buyer's request. The mirrored grinds and 600 grit satin furniture and flats makes for a nice presentation IMHO. Flawless solder joint with superb fit and finish. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $375 plus $18 shipping. Paypal preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
