Some how my account got deleted, I had to re-register...lol now back to square one.

finished a Fred Eichler inspired knife, its not exactly like his or the Outdoor Edge version, but its in the same general size and shape. However this one is made from a 1/8" piece of cmps-30v, heat treated and tested to 60rc with a cryo treatment. Added thumb checkering grooves and finger checkering grooves to this one. This knife is Thin, sharp, tough, and just in time for hunting season.


8" over all
3 1/2" blade, with 3" cutting edge
handle is Black linen Micarta, bolster is 416 stainless steel, with two nickel silver Mosaic and NS lanyard tube
lanyard is black and ? colour 550 cord, I'm not sure of the 2nd colour but I like it.

That is one good lookin blade! What would it sell for?

I am trading this one to a different kind of knife maker, he does flint napping, I'm trading a steel knife for a rock knife...lol. A knife like this in s30v would start at 225.00 and would include a hand made leather sheath.

Sheath completed horizontal carry, I sew a small cam into sheath to help lock the knife in place, these present a challenge for me, not making them but making them so the knife doesn't fall out. 9 oz leather, dyed black.
