This one is a variation of the Mini Bowie and is made of .050 thick CPM-3V. Chisel ground with sharpened swedge.

Ban: Appreciate the opportunity to place an order on the mini Bowie. Looking forward to receiving it.

Curious on why you chose a chisel grind? Definitely makes for a very sharp knife and seems your recent posts have all be chisel grinds (disciple, Lil Loco, dashis)
 
So good!

Ban, we can put your answer to Marine24's chisel grind preference in your FAQ too :thumbup:

I like chisel grinds on defensive blades because it allows me to get some very acute edge geometry. It also gives the appearance of nice and deep pronounced grind lines. With really thin stuff it is almost impossible to do flat grinds without significantly weakening the blade. Some argue that the chisel grind is easier to grind. Maybe...Maybe not... I don't really care. I prefer it for the above reason.
 
Thanks Ban. I'm not real familiar with chisel grinds but will be once the dashi and mini-Bowie come in. At .050 thick, I can understand the limitations.
