Super Curvy Handle Cutting Machine - Brown Canvas Micarta w/ White liners

[Bad Boy Productions]

This knife holds a place dear to my heart. Definitely keeping this prototype in the regular line of offerings.

This was very inspiring, expect to see more in the future, I hope you're half as inspired as I became working on this special blade. Great tactical feel, the grip allows for a two position hold, traditional, or scoot your hand up on the grip and snuggle your index finger directly under the blade for more torque.

Handle: Brown Canvas Micarta (W/ white liner)
Pins/hardware: 316 stainless steel
Overall Length: 9.75"
Blade Length: 4.125"

Love the flat grind! I use to build one very similar; I had a bunch of outfitters that would buy them. You made the blade wide enough you can get your hand up on the blade for skinning out that whitetail or elk. The length is also right. Anything bigger is a waist. If you’re going to split an elk you need a hatchet. Not sure what you did for heat treating but my old outfitters liked them to only Rockwell around 57/58 range - in those days they carried a stone on their belt - now guys want to make them to Rockwell 60/62 or more - to hard in my opinion - great while it's holding an edge but if you loose the edge in the field you need to be able to sharpen it in a hurry.
Good job and a great price. - tom

Thank you Tom. Means alot coming from you. This knife has such a natural feel to it, I would be curious to see a picture of the knife you are referring to....if you get around to it.
I'm right there with you on the Rockwell Hardness. I like just a pinch of softness in my blades, when I go through the process, if it can't shave the hairs off my arm in one swift stroke, then I will give it a last temper for 20 mins or so until it will.
Totally agree w/ you on the 60/62 Rockwell hardness being just a wee bit too much. Totally think that a serious outdoorknife should be able to sharpen on a stone. Like the way you think & agree.
