Catfish knife made from cpm3v. I think this is the only steel I have tested that will beat 154cm for general use hunting and fishing knife. The advantage of the material is you can grind the bevels down to nothing without chipping. This catfish is ground to .002 before sharpening. I will make a few hunters in the future with tumbled finish and kydex sheaths. It gets wicked sharp and seems to resharpen very easy. I will be putting this one thru a wheelbarrow of bluecat ribs in the very near future.

You think cpm3v would be a good choice for a general use folder?

Yes

rick let us please know how this model compares to your standard 440c. certainly i expect a patina but 3v does'nt rust easily in my experience.---cranky72

I like the camp knife Rick.

I just listed this

Some going south

Beautiful

That's gorgeous.

That top one in particular, the drop point hunter, is a great knife in every way.

I should pick yours up from Larry wensday

Very nice lines. Scales look like they are a good match for a long lasting & functional skinner. Who ever ends up with these will be able to pass these down to the next generation. These should see lots of blood!

how about a group buy on that drop point hunter when they start again Rick.................

Gene,
Good idea!

did one last month. I got to do something different next time or I will go crazy. Something I have not made before!

So I'm guessing one of your carbon fiber handled folders is out of the question.

Rick,
How about a Folder?

Folder with a 2 3/4 cpm3v drop point blade.

That way I don't have to wait my turn on your list.

2 good ones here! Really like the blade profile of the slip joint but like the 1 hand opening of the liner lock.

+1 on the second shown - or something in that ball park if you wish to get creative.
