TMH & TSOTMH a pair by Charlie Mike

[T. Erdelyi]

The Mad Hungarian and The Son of The Mad Hungarian made outta Carbon V with a Hamon made by Matt of CMFTW knives. He mad the fist one as a heavy duty multi purpose Utility/SD knife for me. He knew I liked the reverse grip reverse draw set up of his sheaths and I was lookin' for a truck knife to keep between the seats for emergency use and as a deterrent to car jacking, (this knife will sever limbs) it balances at the choil and IIT favorors a tip a little making for great snap cuts. It gets a lot of use and I appreciate the chisel grind being in the right orientation to make it usage to the average stuck like me.

The other knife was made as a companion for my son in law to be, also made out of Carbon V with a built in church key and companion lighter scabbard.

I just wanted to share as these two are rarely together, George always has his at is side in a Charlie Mike style carry and mine is strapped between the driver and passenger seat where it gets used for clearing brush cuttin' a lot of tie down rope and strapping.

Charlie Mike , thanks brother, know they both get a lot of use and are appreciated every day for the great knives they are.

Anyone lookin' for for anything from a true working knife to a presentation grade knife that works and looks great. Give Matt a call/

That steel was a gift from Darrel Ralph, leftover from when Camillus closed up. Its good stuff. I made a lot of knives out of it, starting over again as a member of the sober knifemaker club. Being that I may not have a chance to get more of it again, those knives made in Carbon V are extra special.

In more ways than one Matt. MHL&R brother.

That's just awesome. In about a half-years time and I'm formally finished my studies, I'm going to have to commission a blade from you, even if you're out of Carbon V by then. I have always liked your style.

I've been out of Carbon V for well over a year. I've taken a liking to the tool steels... S7, D2, A2.

Speaking of A2, the red handle tanto has a very Phil Hartsfield grind to it... Eh?

 

[The_Iron_Joe]

Well damn! That's fine though, D2 is one of my favourites! And it really does, those bevels look severe.

Carbon V is a trademark name, not a specific steel, as Cold Steel has used different steels over the years marketed as Carbon V. Yours is probably 0170-6C, which Camillus was using at the time of their demise. (Camillus called it DM1). If you can find a source for either, you can call it Carbon V. However, it won't be as special as Darrell Ralph's gift, in the sentimental sense.

I was under the impression that 1095CV that Ka-Bar is using in their BECKER line amongst others is an identical alloy to Carbon V which was a Cold Steel trademark for the, now defunct, Sharon Steels 0170-6C. Calling that alloy by any of its names should be as acceptable as calling any brand of ibuprofen "Motrin". A rose is still a rose and all that.

 

[SpySmasher]

Nice to see them well-used, T.

 

[uxo2]

That is a SHARP bottle opener.

Awesome blades. Carbon V, a.k.a. 50100, is one of my favorite high carbon steels. My Master Hunter has zipped through a lot of moose and caribou. Takes a fantastic edge, tough as it gets, and easy to touch up in the field.
