Hello Everyone,
It's here, it's finished, and does it ever shine! This blade is comprised of 5 layers, 2 layers each mild steel and 15n20 (nickel bearing high carbon steel) for the jacket and an O1 tool steel core. The handle is torrified and oil finished cherry. This is a heavier workhorse of a knife, quite forward balanced with a heavy distal taper that runs right past the neck. The spine and neck are well radiused and polished in the same fashion as the blade, and the core is readily discernable.
This blade constitutes a practice piece, and more variations will be along in the coming weeks with an Apex Ultra core.
550 $500 U.S + $25 U.S for shipping with insurance anywhere in North America. International will be in the ballpark of $50-$75 U.S depending on the area.
