that one went to a forumite in AZ along with a matching leuku pattern. I thought I put it up on a for sale thread. I should do more of them:thumbup:
5.5 ounces, 9.5 OAL and a 5 inch blade. .095 15N20, convex double edge, stainless fittings on a tan canvas micarta handle. Nice full thickness- I almost always use 3/8 inch micarta.
I'm currently trying to track down the mythical .120 15N20 stock, because I'd like to do more of these a bit thicker. Or I could try and find another similar steel- 8670m and L6, of course. I just love the 15N20. M2 might be a nice one to try out if the 15N20 sources dry up.
Yep and that knife is in the woods conducting counter Narcodic missions Weekly. Just where she should be
It is an ideal design for me as a back up on my gear. I like being to snap cut and back cut with the same grip. The 1/3 double edge is ideal for a Philipino grip which I favor. I would prefer a slight single guard. But she handles great and carries light as a feather in my home made kydex. No complaints here.
9 inches I may try out soon.
okay here's GatorBane.
piggyback set, large modern style langseax, firesteel, the whole nine yards. Walnut and brass fittings on the hardware, all peened.
Oh, hey, yah- I keep forgetting to catch up on email. The shock cord on the firesteel I think is the best way to keep them secure.
It's a great idea. With the pictures, I was thinking how did he get that cord around the other end of the steel?
