Here is a sub-hilt chute type/fighter (you can call it what you like) I just finished up. It is made from 5/32” CPM154CM, heat treated and tempered per Crucibles specifications. Final hardness of Rockwell 61-62C. It is 10 ¼” overall with a 5 3/8” blade. Handle is Black G10 with mosaic pins and a stainless thong tube. It has partial serrations. There is no sheath yet as I would like input from the buyer. Price is $235.00 includes priority mail in CONUS and Pay Pal fees. Money order transactions are good too. Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Congratulations:thumbup: :thumbup: ! This is a beautiful knife by all means! How would you that CPM154CM compares to 154CM?
 
rbmcmjr...they are 303 stainless.

Thanks Zeph...nice avatar!

g moutafis...it is my understanding that it has higher carbon, chromium and has molybdenum added. With proper heat treat it will have better edge retention, higher toughness, and you can acheive higher hardness. For me as a maker, I like to work with it, it is easier to grind and saw. There is nothing wrong with 154CM or ATS-34(which are basically the same). I used them for years and plan to still use them.
Thanks and God Bless!
