Blades made it back from heat treat just before Thanksgiving and I was able to finish my first three stainless knives, can't wait to get them out this winter for some hard use testing.
AEB-L field knives at 60-61 hrc with 6 inch drop point blades with 7 dps saber grinds down to .020 thousands of an inch before sharpening at 20 desk. Canvas micarta scsles with flared tubing and extended tangs with lanyard loops. Two are 600 grit satin and one is 600 grit then stonewashed. (I was going to stonewash them all, but without a tumbler, it's a major pain to do!) I paired them with Spec Ops combat master short sheaths with inserted molded to the knife.
Fellow knife nuts, what do you think?

I’d like one. Please and thank you. Beautiful work. Very simple. Definitely something I’d use hunting/camping/hiking! How long have you been making blades for?
These are elegant and bad ass, I want one
Sweet
Those are awesome I love the clean simple look of a quality tool. Keep up the good work and let us know how they do!
These are awesome, what’s your grinder setup?
My birthday is coming up
Pretty sweet! What are those sheaths from?
Hell yeah, love the curvy choil.
Stunning finish on that blade
Great looking work, I’d be interested when and if they become available for pickup.
