7" utility knife
Blade Steel: AEB-L to hardness of RC 60 by Peters Heat Treating.
Handle: Thunderstorm Kevlar/black g10 and Naval Brass
Overall Length: 7" with a 3" blade.
Thickness: .110 at thickest
This is a good shop knife/utility blade. I use one like it for leather work. The thunderstorm Kevlar handle is very unique. The stuff sucks to work but comes out nice. The only negative I have experienced with it is a brass wire may pop up once in a while. If it does just pull it out with some needle nose pliers. This particular handle was finished with black ice 2000 grit paper to reduce (hopefully eliminate) that problem.
This knife is chisel ground on right side and has a bit of a re-curve to the edge. Handle is hand sanded to 2000 grit.
SPF Add 30$ for a hand stitched 10 oz tooling leather sheath. I will need 7-10 days to complete a sheath. Pics of similiar sheaths are available by email.
