Hallo people,
I am looking for a blade that seems right to own ... want use much piece of this value but still wil determine what it is actually worth.
Can I find something like with a factory brand (Microtech or Strider...?)? Are their customs the are already offering such a blade
Specs wanted (seems like unexsting almost :-( ):
*slight tendency towards fixed.
*mean and tactical look
*proper high-end heat-treatment and tempering
*input and suggestions of user are welcome
*in order of preference: CPM15V, CPM9V, CPM10V, S90V.
*tanto-shaped, double-edged with agressive serration one side.
*modestly sized
*Carbon (nr 1), G10 or micarta handle. NO natural materials!
*A soberly fit "striking-pommel" on the handle, allowing impact on head of adversary (not required to hammer down nails or such, I do have a hammer).
*sober look and finish without any fancy trimmings, no colours, just plain grey and black: showing simplicity but breating quality...).
*Nice Boron-Nitride coat on edge.
*Good customer service and if required touch-up of knife after as much as 15 year (after sharpening, Boron-Nitride coating will need to be reapplied
*This always requires that the blade comes to fitted me with nicely done edges - viewing the nature of the knife this is absolutely necassary...
*If possible rather thin knife but a solid, suppotive spine(even softer and tougher than rest of blade - I know it can be done).
Another issue that is on my mind...
-Wich custom bladesmith does a ecellent job to meet this specific desires... Materials and abilty to build this piece. Who is very high-end, don't want any authentic or traditional but modern guy/woman. Things like right heat-treatment are hard, the steel is a b*tch too, coating is hard (can it be applied by third party?).
-Need good customer care as for intense restoring, he/we will be the best option... Even in the distant future.
-A skilfull blademaker who can give me ADVISE or bring something negative to my mind.
Thank you very much...
