[Darrin Sanders]

Blade is CPM-10V @ HRC-63.5. Cutting edge is ~2.75" long, 1 3/16" wide @ the Ricasso, & 1/16" (.061") thick. Handle is Natural Linen Micarta with black Micarta pins and is ~4 1/8" long. I wear a M/L size glove and it fits my hand very comfortably. Overall length is ~6 7/8". It weighs 2.2 oz. on my digital postal scale. It has a 220X satin belt finish & has a left hand chisel grind to .008" at the edge. Price includes a sheath made to the buyers specs. in either Kydex or leather.
I'm asking $225 shipped in the USA. Others pay actual charges. I do NOT accept PayPal. I accept cash, cashiers checks, money orders, & personal checks with time allowed for bank clearance.
Comments and questions welocmed.

Darrin - that looks like a great all-purpose knife. Way to go with a thin blade.

How would the slicing of the chisel grind compare to regular full flat grind? Does the chisel grind let you grind thinner?

 

[Darrin Sanders]

A chisel is basically the same as a full flat grind except that it is slightly canted off center. On a blade this thin there would be very little noticeable difference in actual use because the angle of the offset is very small. I grind these with a left hand chisel grind so a right hand user can open boxes/cartons with the flat part of the blade down and the bevel up. This makes opening things a breeze. The cutting edge is also angled slightly upward so the edge contacts the material at a bit of an angle to allow for a natural slicing motion.
My dad owned a grocery store and I grew up stocking shelves so I've opened a box or two. LOL This design works very well in my opinion.
