Overlander; Folding Universal Camp Knife

[whereismyknife]

I'll have it at the Blade Show with the intention of getting feedback from other knife makers, etc. We'll see what happens with it during the show, (I don't intend to sell it there but you never know what can happen) but if it ends up coming home with me, yeah I'll put it up for sale. Have no idea what $ it would be at this point, but I'll figure everything out after Blade

ps. if it goes for sale here on BF, it'll require a paid membership for purchas

If it goes on sale, I would definitely like to know the price. I am following. I'm sure it will attract a lot of attention at the blade Show. Have a nice day

Howdy y'all!

This knife began its life as an off cut. Someone sent me a slab of CPM 3V years ago, and I made kind of a chopper type blade out of it which was never finished, (at least not yet). The remaining piece I held on to, because that's how I do, and it really could only be used for a folding knife in terms of its size.

Well, that off cut's day has come and it's now a knife. A ridiculous, overbuilt, thicc, heavy knife! The kind of folding knife that needs a pouch for carrying it, since it's too big and too heavy for pocket carry.

This is my second attempt at a folding knife, and despite its ridiculous proportions the tolerances are tight and the action is smooth. Lockup is super solid.

The pivot and stop pin are .25", from the wonderful @Alpha Knife Supply. Titanium is 6Al4V, scales are carbon fiber and the fasteners are 7075 aluminum with hard anodizing. The blade rides on bronze washers.

I'll be revisiting this thread with more info- I still need to finish the sheath and clean up the knife a little bit but for some reason it feels important to post this up before the month officially ends. I'm weird like that, and in so many other ways as well, lol.

Thank you so much for checking out my thread

I absolutely love your knife. It's perfect & I would fit it in my pocket. Great craftsmanship!!
