New Blade Design!!
https://imgur.com/a/insFCUB

This is a new blade design I’ve come up with! I am starting to lean towards smaller designs. This is 1/8” thick, 4” blade, 8 3/4” overall in AMAZING CPMS35VN! Holds an edge for DAYS!!!!! Finishes out beautifully! I think some really grippy Canvas Micarta is in order for the scales! Opinions from my Sigforum family!!
Hope to share ANOTHER design later today!
About CPMS35VN Steel
CPM S35VN was designed to be the perfect blend of stain resistance, toughness, edge stability and edge holding. It is like their earlier CPM S30v but they have re-balanced its elemental make up and added Niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides for added grain refinement, strength and toughness. CPM S35VN is about 15-20% tougher than S30V without any loss in wear resistance. It is also tougher than most other stainless alloys that are used in knife making. Because both vanadium and niobium carbides are harder and more effective than chromium carbides in providing wear resistance, the CPM stainless blade steels offer improved edge retention over conventional high chromium steels such as 440C and D2.

That's very nice. I really like the blade shape. Size looks just about perfect, too.
