6-inch Orange

Description

This is my personal knife.  I am very pleased with the way it turned out overall. When I made the 7.5 inch test knife, I found there were some things in the design that I didn’t really like as much as I thought I would, so this knife is the product of the design adjustments that I wanted to make.  I am sure I will tweak the design even more on future builds with this profile.

The blade is a little over 6 inches long and the edge is a little under 6 inches long. This knife is made with 3/16 inch 8670 steel with orange and black G10 handles and blue G10 liners with loveless bolts securing the handle scales.  The front of the sheath is a battleship grey skull pattern Kydex with a solid orange Kydex back and has a Tek-Lok clip for attaching it to my belt or backpack.

I carry this knife on me everyday and these pictures were taken after a lot of use, so there are some visible scratches on it, but overall the finish is holding up well considering all the wood I have processed and cardboard I have cut up with it, along with various other materials I cut with it through normal everyday use.

The edge is holding up very well, I have not had to resharpen this one yet with stones, I have only stropped it 10 times on each side once and it was back to shaving hair…not as well as when I first put the edge on it, but it will still shave.
