---=== The Wingman {CPM 3V pocket fighter} ===--- SOLD

[BenR.T.]

For this new design I wanted to take the lines from some of my favorite big fighters and mix that with my favorite small knife. The Loveless NYS.
What I ended up with was this compact little powerhouse I call my "Wingman" pocket fighter.
These first couple I did in CPM 3v at 62rc. I do my own heat treat on these, which includes proper LN Cryo and a low temp temper (thanks to Nathan Carothers and Dan Keffeler for HT pointers). I blasted the green micarta on this one and then tumbled the whole thing for an nice grippy feel. This also give the copper pins a cool look.
I hand stitched the leather cross draw sheaths to wrap up the package.

Steel - CPM 3v at 62rc

Ben,
Really nice work on this one. Design, 3V steel, grinds, materials, sheath... the whole package is just great.
Admire your work.

Ditto. I really like this design Ben. Compact, good lines, and looks like a user.

I'm not into fighters, but that's a sweet knife: colors, lines, steel and HT. And it looks like it will make a great utility knife also.

Thanks for the comments guys. This one really melts in your hand, and is very comfortable in a number of grips. The harpoon actually works very nicely for a thumb ramp which adds a lot of control for the needle sharp point.
