Stone Washed CPM 3V Wolverine

[Ochs]

This is one of my early designs and over the last couple years the Wolverine has been one of the blades I keep coming back to and doing minor modifications. I am pretty happy with where it seems to be going now but I am always curious about what you all think. Here are some specifications:

Blade: Brutal tough CPM 3V with a Paul Bos heat treat to +/-60 Rockwell and flat grounds blade with rounded back edge. 4-1/2” blade edge ,10-1/8" overall and 0.204 thick.

Handle: Linen Micarta with thumb and back finger traction grooves, two stainless hidden corby bolts, 3/8” titanium tube and peened pins at the guard. There is also a bonk with recessed thong hole.

Thanks for looking!

Here is another pics of one that is a gift to my Wife’s Cousin’s Son who is off to Afghanistan in a month. This one is CPM S30V with a textured canvas Micarta handle and mosaic pins.

Cordially,
Eric

Great design and fantastic steel. Your Afghan bound relative should be very well served by it.

Looks like a fantastic user to me, in a true high performance steel. :thumbup:

The CPM 3V has become one of my favorites as it really is a super tough steel that takes a good edge and holds it. Not to bad to sharpen with a decent stone. Hard to beat that! Thanks for the kind comments all.

That is a great design - I like the placement of the thong hole! Great blade shape - I like the ergonomics as well. :thumbup::thumbup: Great steel, with Boz - heat treat, - it has it all!

Nice design that looks very suitable for hard use.
The handle looks very comfortable.

David and Kevin, thanks for the comments! I do try to make comfortable handles, they really help the a knife do its job that much better, as you know.

Best to you,
Eric
