This is a new model I recently designed. This one comes from my love for small pocket fixed blades and you might be able to see some of my influences in the knife (Krein,Snody). I'm new to leather so the sheath is not perfect in it's fit and finish, but it's mechanically sound and it fits in Levi's front or back pocket. **Here is a quick word about AEB-L from Chuck Bybee** (owner of Alpha Knife Supply).

**AEB-L was originally developed for razor blades. Sandvik copied AEB-L and calls it 13C26. These steels are formulated with just enough carbon for the steel to get very hard but not make any chromium carbides. The extreme fine grain makes them easy to sharpen, have good edge holding and excellent edge stability.

I've recommended this stainless steel to knifemakers for years. Anyone who has been around me will tell you I love this steel. Try it and let us know what you think of it. We're working with Uddeholm and Sandvik to get thicker material.**

I just wanted to add compliments, I've been following your work here and on USN. I really dig the smalls too, pocket sized fixed blades are a weakness of mine. Great packages. I prefer Kydex but some knives need some leather to make it complete. Cool designs. Only thing I would like to see on the smaller fixed blades are lanyard holes! Small blades need a lanyard to wrangle them sometimes.
 
That looks like the ticket for my family package. I gotta find that purple g10 I had bookmarked and make a plan with you. Nice job Nick. Russ
 
Sold to mabpi.

Matt. I did make a few with lanyard holes for the next batch.

Russ. Shoot me an email. Is will have these in 52100 & aeb-l
