It sure didn't take long for this thread to turn into an absolute mess.
Could we possibly wait until someone has some actual facts, or heaven forbid, actually examines and uses the knife, before proclaiming it either the best thing since sliced bread or an utter waste of time?
Yeah they do a fairly decent job don't they?
The knife would've looked a lot better with a persian style trailing point IMO. :thumbup:
Is anyone else imagining this with a coffin handle?
Yes? No? Maybe so?
Indeed, that rendering job is phenomenal. They spared no expense making that look like real G-10.
I like how you think
Dam this thread got big fast
...Well, it is faux G10 right? . . .
The haters, parrots and shills don't need any such thing like facts to blast CS...
Surely you jest! Since when has exercising patience and approaching a situation calmly and rationally ever made for good copy? I say, join the bashers and let the tackle fly!!!
I would really like to see a Lawman in this steel. I *love* my Lawman and unfortunately can't splash for a real Demko-made iteration (and the upgraded steel therein), but a Lawman made from this CPM3V would be a great folding knife (not that i don't like the AUS8 in my Lawman, but it could be better - though understandably at a price increase).
This. Or S30V. Or new Demko designed folder with upgraded steels.
I think the linerless G10 folders make the most of the Tri-Ad lock. So, the Recon, the American Lawman, the AK-47, and the Hold Out. I think the Recon, the Lawman, and the AK-47 would be best served by an upgrade to 3V or another super tough steel.
I'm happy to see a great response to this knife, if you are a cold steel style tanto fan you should love this knife. If not, hang in there with the success of this project we hope to use 3v and other high end steels in many more places. We hope to keep the supply up with the demand, and have a good chance to do so.
As many have noticed, yes, we have a really good computer guy. I believe what you see there is a photo of my original hand made sample he worked on. That's why the g-10 looks so good.

I am shooting for that direction, and this is the first step. We are somewhat outside of you comfort zone, well at least I am. Usually it's "here make this" and I wait to approve the factoy sample. Now were doing most of the production steps here in PA and some how I became in charge of them.
