I have talked with a fella that is interested in this project and bounced some ideas off him.
I think I will do a run of the knife in BOTH 3V and 4V.
The 3V run will come first and consist of atleast 10 knives, possibly a couple more.
The 4V run will happen after the 3V knives are finished and shipped.
This is good news for those that wanted both steels, hopefully you will not mind waiting a little longer for the 4V.
For the Steel. I typically buy steel that is 10% to 15% over nominal size. This means the thickness of the 3/32" blades will be .100"- .110". Still thin enough for great cutting geometry with enough thickness rougher use. This should make the guys that wanted 1/8" happy as well.
Handle Scale Options: Anything that Alpha Knife Supply has in their inventory of proper thickness, Black Canvas and Linen Micarta, Natural Canvas and Linen Micarta- these will be included in the standard price. I will also offer Shadetree CC Micarta at a $20 upcharge, this will be limited to what they have in stock as well.
At this time I do not want to deal with wood.
I will try to get some sketching done this week with a couple possible patterns to choose from.
As always, I look forward to your thoughts, opinions, and questions.
