size=2]Hi guys here are the latest batch to be completed.[/size]
I had a fire in my workshop today and lost all extraction so work has stopped till thats fixed!!
I have also had massive problems with the agent I imported the handle materials from he has left me hanging for over two weeks with no actual delivery time yet (I paid to get it here faster)
So Ive had to raid a knife maker friends supplies and buy up what synthetics he had.
lucky for you there all really high quality , bad news for me they cost a lot more and all take a lot more labour to use and finish .
Long story short IV lost over £200 on this batch!!
But Im not going to pass that on to you guys as a gesture of good will!!
The price is still £120 with free postage to UK.
Just a rundown of dimensions and materials used.
The blade is constructed from 5.8mm thick o1 tool steel.
Professionally heat treated in Sheffield to a tested hrc 57-59
Lasers engraved in Sheffield.
Hand finished in every other way, each one is subtly different.
They have what I call "raw steel finish" which is actually a process and means that its totally practical as a working tool you wont worry about scratching it .
it has a sabre grind rather than the standard scandi grind as I personally cant get on with the true scandi grind and find its not a lot of use when doing tasks like field dressing a deer for example, so Ive done the grind higher to get a finer cross section for what I believe is a better edge for the purpose of field craft
Its totally over engineered so should last a very long time and some abuse in the field!!
Dimensions are.
9.5cm cutting edge
12.5cm handle or 8 3/4" overall length in old money.
It takes 4 x 4mm pins and 1x8mm lanyard.
The handle materials are black and dymond wood , this is a laminated wood product tha is made under huge pressure and injected with resin , its very strong and hard wearing (not like real wood)
green linen micarta , made the same as above but with linen
and black linen micarta .
they are superb handle materials and the only thing i would use if i couldnt get g10 !!
there almost indistructable .
I use a two ton rated 2 part apoxie to adhere the whole thing together but the way the pins fit even if the glue did begin to fail the handle would stay in place without movement !
Shaped and finished by hand and given a satin finish with a specialist abrasive.
'Info on the sheaths is 3.5mm died through shoulder.
Double Stitched with doubled over pre waxed nylon thread so each stitch is 4 strands thick.
Riveted belt loop. 3.5mm welt glued and stitched by hand.
Died again to colour the fresh cut edges, dried for 5 hours in warm environment and waxed.
Should last a very long time!
The black is less prone to showing wear over the years I believe. A little dubbing from the new owner once or twice a year and I'm sure they will stand the test of time
The good thing with fieldcrafter-uk is that If your sheath does die unexpectedly ( you lose it or damage it ) you can buy another to replace it !!
Im going to offer a first come first serve policy on this as I always have , iv been messed about 100 times so please dont pm or say you want it unless your genuinely going to buy it , no cheques will be accepted iv been had with a few rubber cheques now and thats ruled that out .
PayPal is fine (+ charges please), as is cash recorded delivery and bacs. The price is £120 with free (UK only) first class recorded postage, that usually take a working day to arrive and I always get a tracking number.
You also get a small scotchbrite pad so that you can clean your knife and oil it between using it.
I hope you like them as much as we do .
all the best , matt .
