A couple knives for Christmas Eve. I will respond to messages and inquiries up to midnight tonight (EST), and will resume again Monday. The next ship date for these would be Tuesday. Here they are:
First up, this slicer is set up with a unique blade shape that can't be simply categorized. It blends together elements of a pseudo wharncliffe, spear point, and drop point. The blade to handle angle and sweep of the belly give it almost recurve like cutting leverage. With its nice neutral handle, this is a simple, slicey and comfortable blade for the hunter, or for precision cutting in food prep or light to medium EDC tasks.
Note this blade is not dishwasher safe, and should be washed with a damp cloth and soapy water, then immediately rinsed and dried thoroughly. Light coating of oil is also recommended. It is a carbon steel, so it should be expected to develop a nice patina with use over time.
Specs
Steel: 1/8" 1084, tempered at 400°
Geometry: Full flat, zero ground except up to .015" behind the edge at the tip
Overall Length: 8 1/16"
Cutting Edge Length: 3 3/4"
Weight: 3.8 oz
Handle: Natural canvas Micarta, stainless steel pins
Sheath: Tan pancake Kydex
Next, a good contender in the CCW department, large but extremely light and slim, with a grippy and comfortable handle, and very aggressive point, this one is near zero ground, and very sharp. It has a deep and nicely chamfered finger groove for retention, and on account of its thinner stock, also features a radiused spine for maximum comfort in thumb driven cuts and Filipino grip. It would serve well in the aforementioned role, or as an ultralight EDC.
