Not sure if it's different between the D2 and the D3V, but I love the look of it in my D2.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Yeah it looked really nice on that PSF27. CPM doesn't look anything like that...

 

[ManOfSteel89]

Roger that. Any possibility of getting anything satin finished in the future?

 

[jackal_727]

Zombie finish, with a swedge...that is all

I take paypal, cash, check, young able-bodied children (does not need to be first born) or MO.

This is the first time I've seen 'young able-bodied children' as a valid form of payment. How many HDFK's does one get in exchange for a child?

Asking for a friend....

...I was wondering if anybody actually ever read any of that...


To answer the question: Every child is a special blessing. A gift from above. They're all different so each one would need to be appraised individually.

I was just reading it deciding if Mat was spreading fake news and I started laughing which caused huge pain. I'm laid up on the couch, had minor surgery yesterday.

Really like this idea of the S grind. Is that on the protos as well?

one order per post. that order can be multiple knives, but they're all paid for at the same time from the same place and all ship to the same address.

Yes, all of them.

It's very subtle. It takes a quality straight edge and a backlight to really see it. It isn't for looks, most folks would be unaware it's there.



We took a radial platen attachment and modified it with a shop made radius platen backing which allows us to grind a compound geometry.

It's real purpose is on the competition choppers, but we wanted to go ahead and get our feet wet, and the relatively tall bevel on this knife was a good fit for it. Nobody is going to be racing in a 2X4 chop with this little knife, but it's still kinda cool regardless.

Oooooooo it's beautiful. I wouldn't have noticed it until I wiped it down. Hopefully I get one soon!
