This M7 has a 7.75" long blade of 440c @ 59-60 HRC, although I am making CPM154 standard from here on out. Fully functional sawteeth, an aluminum buttcap with a steel plate permanently fixed to it for more durability while hammering and such, and obviously a cord wrapped and knurled stainless steel handle tube.

This one is equipped with the M.O.A. System (Make it Out Alive) which adds a stainless steel plate to the aluminum buttcap, PSK knife on the front of the sheath, and pouch with tin on the sheath. It also included a small survival kit.

These have an asymmetrical guard for more comfort while actually using the knife, with fully radiused edges. It also has a grey GunKote finish on the center of the blade, and covers the guard, handle and buttcap. Fully coated is also possible. The GunKote offers significant protection from corrosion and staining, and certainly gives it a distinct appearance.

This one has the optional removable ferrocerium rod in the buttcap, as opposed to a compass. This obviously facilitates fire starting by giving you a secure handle to hold the ferro rod with.

Another fine combo my friend!
How come you are moving away from 440c, availability? Or more requests for upgrade steel?
Thanks for sharing.

mitch13 mitch13 Thank you! Yes, absolutely nothing wrong with 440C, I happen to love it and it will remain on the workbench and available. But for many of the knives, as you mentioned, the CPM154 gets requested a lot. I am trying to simplify, as I use a variety of sizes and thicknesses and that number just doubles for two different steels. Still a great steel, and a very long track record.πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ‘
love your work

Lorien Lorien Thank you!😎
