I enjoy seeing this blade design come out from time to time. Years ago, Both my good friend Mr. Bob Loveless and I came out with this design of a compound grind individually at the same time. He called h is the Pro-Hunter, mine the Compound Hunter. both were true Drop point designs. Oddly, mine looked more like a Loveless than the actual Loveless. I don't know what the design has to offer in a folder as the intent was to have a thick area towards the ricasson and a thin belly and tip for skinning where as the thick section was meant for joints. We both ground our blades very with a very deep hollow grind and a very thin edge on our Dropped Hunters. Normally anywhere between 10 to 15 thou. behind the edge. At times for very fine work, even thinner. This was the reason for the added thickness at the rear of the blade to add strength for rougher work. Sadly we were a bit ahead of our time with these. They look a little odd and never really caught on back then. I did give one to Ted Nugent and he loved it! Now there's a man who knows how to field dress game. Now suddenly I see the design popping up all over the place. Allen E.'s design for Houghe for instance. Another old friend. I don't know if people are now appreciating the use for such a blade,or it is simply something different in a sea of similar bladed offerings so widely available today. . I see that Wee is really stepping up in design and technical +quality. It continues to be the Golden Age of Knife Making. KnifeMaker

Man, it's sad that you have to explain to some of these geniuses here, ways in which this knife is an awesome deal! Even if you are not a collector or enthusiast, you should be able to see that this knife is a functional piece of art designed by the Herocio Pagani of the knife world,that has been masterfully recreated so that more people have the ability to experience this amazing tool because the original GTC knife will run a cool minimum of $2000. Yes, that is the bare minimum! Lol!

Who was this knife made for..? Me, that's who 😊 Plenty of people disagree with me, but I'm willing to sacrifice *some* function for form. I like the different aesthetics, as long as you can still actually use the knife without forcing it. People bag on "gas station" knives, but y'know what..? If they were made with good quality/materials by default, that wouldnt really be an insult. Just my two cents

I'm sure they make all the same color/styles together, and not as theyre ordered separately ?!?

Agree with everything you said about the knife. If you are a real collector you'll know it's a high-end knife with average price. There are just no American made knife can compare at the same price. The design is just like art which for someone who are not artistic will not seen. Love EVERYTHING about the knife! Hope later it will comes with previous metals like damasteel blade and timascus handle.

Rike has an integral for $125, I realize there's more to it but the kizer brat is an integral also. Once you have the cnc code down, it's just repeating it.
@metal_complex 8 ай бұрын
Ya that's quite a bit different than it being titanium. Exponentially so. Much more risky IF something goes wrong because the stock material is more expensive, and it also takes longer to create and has a MUCH more dramatic affect when it comes to wear and tear on the equipment. I've spoken with many OEMs about this. Titanium makes things more difficult and the machines have to be recalibrated more often to maintain perfect tolerances. Not cheap. No way around it. G10 though for sure. Cheap way to make an integral. I'm all for it

@@peen2804 I design fixtures for circuit boards & that's how our CNC machines work. I have worked with lots of different materials: tungsten, brass, titanium, steel, 10, delrin, lexan, G10, etc. What exactly are you referring to. Because that's how CNC machines work, Waterjet, laser, endmills, plasma,etc. Load & unload materials & repeat. I'm not referring to manually machining something on a mill. So explain what exactly you are you referring to.

Cons: It's rather too big for edc and too fancy, typical showpiece for collectors. It's heavy anyway, because integral and size. It's expensive because integral. Only small group of people are willing to pay extra for it. I don't dig another 20cv 59-61 hrc with such thin edge and fragile tip. Especially in such big knife. Do edc knife with 3,5" blade, which weight max 5 oz. or just do this blade to be beater in different steel with stronger tip. I don't dig this false lock relief on show side. Poor choice. Couldn't they make relief inside handle like in Sebenza? Notch kinda ruins lines on knife, GTC customs doesn't have it. It's nitpick but anyway... Finish choice is kinda poor. You can buy it with that slippery handle without coating, with blue handle or in coating on blade. There is missing grey stonewashed handle with stonewashed blade.

What are you talking about again???…Any kind of coating will bring HRC down by 1 point??? Stop talking out of your ass, what about DLC or better say TDLC coating?, ha? it has a HRC hardness of at least 72 or more, how in hell can this bring hardness down where no knife surpasses “67“ and even this is a stretch, though average is around 59/62. It DOESN’T BRING HARDNESS DOWN IN ANY WAY, and the temperature of 480F (250C*) what is maximum to apply the DLC is way too low to make any affect to the initial HRC of the steel being used, if it does then the blade must be made from aluminum and not from quality or even super steel. Only heating steel up doesn’t do much to it even if it glows, the way it is cooled down matters the most and it’s called quenching, if it’s cooled down very slowly in a course of many hours or even days it doesn’t change its initial properties at all, faster it’s cooled down more of an impact it makes.
