So I decided to make a knife for myself that I might be able to hold onto for more than a week. So, I decided that the only way to do that was to make one so horrendously expensive that only a select few might actually want it.
I made a HellHound Mk VI in CPM154CM. 6" satin finished blade with a fully sharpened clip point with MCAM G10 grips. 
Here it is with a .45 TAP round and my Zero Tolerance 0300 just to give a sense of scale on just how thick this thing is 
And here she is with the SEER Mk V in Elmax steel from the other thread. 
I am really diggin the CPM154CM. It was just as easy as 1095 to work, took a satin finish really well and is sharp as all get out. I've got it sharpened to 25 degrees inclusive. |

Wow. Just wow. Since no one else asked, how much would something like that run and do you prefer the Elmax or CPM154CM so far? BTW. Still in love w/my Conquest. The stocks seem like they were actually made for my hand the fit is so perfect! Thanks man. It's runs like 3 testicles and a spleen. I think I added it to my website, since I can't openly say here. Actually, as cool as this one is, and don't get me wrong the CPM154CM is pretty damn bad-ass, I have to give the nod to the Elmax. It seems to have a toothier edge to it, even though I hone the edges of both the knives the same, the Elmax knife just seems to rip right through stuff and seems to stay razor sharp longer. I never would have dared to beat on a 5/32" thick knife with a 24 degree blade angle before, but that freakin' SEER in the Elmax just keeps taking it and taking it. But, to take something away from all this gushing, I haven't put the HellHound through as much as I have the SEER. Once I get this batch cleared off my bench I plan on spending some quality time with the HellHound to see what the CPM154CM will take. Should be interesting to compare the SEER with a 24 degree single bevel to the HellHound with a 25 degree inclusive double bevel. Either way, it's gonna be fun. |
Although, I will admit I took it out for a little walk this weekend. I did get to beat on it some. HellHound made a friend.
And I've got 2 others, this one and one with black grips, that I finished up for some folks. I really want to take this one and the CPM154CM one and beat the snot out of them together but I don't think my customer would appreciate it much.
