Ok - I think I'm ready to start an interest list.


NO MONEY REQUESTED AT THIS TIME.


This is just an interest list.


Once I have heat-treated blades and handle materials in stock, I will start an Official List and a 50% deposit will be required.


Between now and then I need to get a few things figured out like sheaths, materials, etc.



Here's what I've got so far:


Specs on the EDC:


Steels available = 3/16" thick CPM 3V, CPM154 (if I can get it), D2, HighPerf. Damascus (CPM154/CPM3V)

Handles avaialble = Synthetics only (Micarta, G10), 5/16" thick handles, contoured with palm swell.

Sheaths available = Kydex or Leather (same price)

Important note: EVERY KNIFE WILL COME WITH A SHEATH

I won't be selling these without a sheath - don't ask.


I will be making these in the following blade lengths:

3"
3.5"
4"
4.5"
5"


Pic of the 3.5" and 3" version in Natural and Black Canvas Micarta (respectively)

I will post pics of the 4" and 4.5" sizes as I get them finished.




Pricing is going to be

$200 for the 3"
$215 for 3.5"
$230 for 4"
$245 for 4.5"
$260 for 5"

and that DOES include the sheath. (again, mandatory!)



For CPM3V/CPM154 Damascus:
Add $200 for 3"
Add $220 for 3.5"
Add $240 for 4"
Add $260 for 4.5"
Add $280 for 5"

(I won't be doing a special run of this damascus yet....just showing pricing for those interested)



The First Run is going to be limited to 30 knives. I will be contacting people from the list below first...and then taking the first 30 deposits whomever they be. ;)
At that point you can specify what blade length you are interested in. I will have multiples of each length on hand - which is the reason for the interest list. Let me know what sizes to cut more of !!


MAKE SURE I HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU SIGN UP BELOW !!!
(send me an email with "EDC" in the Subject)


Thanks!

Dan

Dan,I voted for 3.5"(3V/Desert Ironwood/Leather...if possible) ,but I'll take whatever you decide on.

I just signed up to your mailing list.

My email is j.roderick @ live.com


Thanks
 
I'm interested

3.5 inch blade, black micarta or g-10 would be cool for handle (iron wood would be cool if possible) with a D2 or cpm 3v with a kydex sheath

Hey Dan! I just voted for the 3.5". I really like that Natural Micarta!!! CPM 3V in a leather sheath, it would be absolutely perfect for an EDC. You've got my email and a huge thumbs up!!!
 
I'm in.

3.5 inch and CPM154 if you can get it. If not 3V.

Interested in hearing the handle color options.
 
3.5 blade, 3V, probably leather (depending on style), & G-10 sounds good to me.
 
3V, Blue G-10 handles, 3.5", sounds good.

Though 3V & CPM154 Damascus would be great. :D
 
I'm in.

3.5 inch and CPM154 if you can get it. If not 3V.

Hmmm...I forgot about the Damascus EDC possibility. I'd like to wait and see how that thread turns out.

TOO MANY CHOICES DAN!

And then there's the MUCK coming down the line too.
 
Gentlemen, please don't forget to send me an email with "EDC" in the subject - so I can make sure to contact you as soon as the list goes LIVE!

:thumbup:

When are you closing the Damascus interest thread? To me, the option of getting one of these in the 3V/CPM154 dam is preferable to 154Sm or 3V.
 
I'm in. :)
3.5" 3V Natural Micarta

Of course I'm with the guy above me on damascus option. It will be first choice if available.
 
SPXTrader - I'll add it to the pricing options above. :thumbup:
