Hello dear brothers,
First of all we thank Good God that we are all fine and healthy and i really wish and hope that all of you are the same!
After some time off due to this unpleasant situation that led to delays in supply of the necessary knife making material, thanks Good God i managed to take one step further and add to our portfolio a magnificent carbon steel - 'the spicy white' or more 'chart like' 26C3
I am simply in love with this material yet we will have to see what you will all say; I must admit that the key point of this guy is it's extraordinary hardness that goes to 68 HRC after HT. I of course could not leave it like this as the - in toughness would make it brittle so using manufacturers recommendation i took it to a little over 65 HRC, still a hardness beast on it's own
Now i must tell you that you should not treat this as an axe as unpleasant surprises might arise; it is simply a cutting champion with an extremely pure composition, super fine grain and 'over sized' hardness.
To go nice with this strong and exclusive blade i used a pair of A grade desert ironwood scales that are simply magnificent. Simple, shiny buffed fittings for a non bling bling blade
Overall this would measure app 8.1" with an app 4" blade.
The price for this guy is only 175 usd (a crisis price as promised and if you don't believe me just take into consideration that the ironwood burl scales alone cost me 57 usd ). Please ad 35 usd for a nice vegetable tanned thick ox leather sheath (made by my lovely wife on request).
All the best brothers, God bless,
Bogdan
