Ok, folks. I just finished this knife this afternoon and I got some pics of it.

This time, I used a DC current etch to give it a clear appearance. This etch dissolves metal, but doesn't redeposit it like an A/C current etch. This means the logo is etched deeper into the steel. It will hold up to a little more abuse than my regular black logo. The scales were originally shiny, but I rough sanded them to give them a matte appearance, rather than polish them.

Specs are:

9" OAL
4 - 1/4" blade
1/8" thick O1 tool steel
30^o Scandi grind
T15 Torx hardware
1/4" lanyard hole
Green Linen Micarta Scales
Exposed tang extension

Thanks for looking!

I like it. More utilitarian looking than some of your other work that I've seen but still every bit as nice.

Yeah I wanted to try something a little different. This handle style was inspired by Ontario and ESEE knives. I used a Dremel router to round over the edges of the scales, then cleaned them up with sandpaper. I thought it would be quicker and easier to make this style of handle, but it turns out it takes about he same amount of time and attention as a glued handle with Loveless bolts.

The big advantage of this type of handle is the scales can be removed and the blade clamped in my grinding jig to restore the edge if it ever gets really dinged up.

Looks great. Ontario-esque

Simple, Clean, and Sharp looks great PW.

Thats exactly what i was thinking, the handle looking ontario-ish. I like the rougher feel on the handles rather than smooth. I also like removable handles for the reasons you stated.... and if needed take them off and lash the blade to a 9 foot oak shaft and make a spear!!!! Oh wait, i just watched an episode of Man Woman Wild and am still amped up.... Ok, that was just a joke...lol

That's a great looking knife, and those scales are making me like micarta more. Very nice lines on this one too!!

i like it!! that is a good looking tool there

Dano · « **Reply #8 on:** March 18, 2012, 04:56:18 PM »

I've looked at it a few times again, and it almost has a distinct "military" look to it but not "tacticool" goofy. I can't really put it into words and I mean it in a good way.

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2012, 05:59:52 PM »

Thanks guys! Yeah the green micarta does have a certain "Olive Drab" look to it. This knife would be right at home amidst a bunch of surplus gear.

I like it alot, too. It is simply elegant!

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2012, 03:34:50 PM »

Made a sheath for it.

The sheath is made from .060 Kydex "T". It is completely ambidextrous, and can be carried either horizontal or vertical by changing the position of the belt loop. It also has a retention adjustment screw. This screw can be removed for less tension, or installed for more tension.

That looks great. Although it pretty much goes against all my normal attractions....Supe r clean. I don't like kydex

Yeah, this knife will appeal to the ESEE/RAT/Ontario fans.

Dano · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2012, 08:19:33 PM »

That's a really nice looking sheath! I especially like how it's ambidextrous and has adjustable tension...very nice!!

Red · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2012, 08:35:29 PM »

looks great PW!! you are mastering that kydex just like i knew you would!

Kydex was intimidating at first, but it turns out it's pretty easy to work with. It's a little faster than leather, but not drastically so. The actual forming of the sheath goes by pretty quickly. It's the prep work and finish work that takes a while.

Nice Blade PW!!!
Like a slightly shorter Ontario Blackbird SK-5!

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #20 on:** April 08, 2012, 05:56:13 PM »

Definitely some similarities!

Bump for price drop.

Red · « **Reply #22 on:** July 10, 2012, 08:38:42 PM »

thats a good price

i cant wait till you start making again, i have some ideas for this knife when i order mine

Highlife · « **Reply #23 on:** July 10, 2012, 08:42:32 PM »

I love this knife. I wish I had some extra $$$ around...

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #24 on:** July 10, 2012, 09:00:08 PM »

Thanks guys.

I still have a couple of knives available, but this one is the lowest priced I have right now. There is the tiger stripe G10 one still available, and the ironwood woodlore with the polished blade and file work, also still available (but I haven't priced it yet)...

Red · « **Reply #25 on:** July 10, 2012, 09:01:20 PM »

I will be ordering one of these intrepids with the blue/black G10 scales, and with a deeper scandi grind on the 1/8" stock

hurry up and move already so you can crank out some knives
