Pretty much what I design, but I could do full custom too

@@sressentials really, that's awesome. Do you do parangs?

I skipped over things like 15n20 up to 3v. Tried o1 bainite, but it wasn't really any better than 1095. 3v seems to be the right stuff for swords like this.

@@sressentials I don’t really understand what you mean by “skipped over”. Assuming Larrin Thomas’s testing is valid, 15N20 is tougher than CPM-3V, especially in high hardness(60+Hrc). CPM-3V is very decent, but I would make an arguement that its higher wear resistance and lower toughness, relative to steel like 15N20,5160 ,S7(and banite 1095) ,each at their proper hardness, would induce difficulty in maintenance in relation to those steels mentioned.

I would need to test 15n20 for myself to really know the capabilities. I still have 1095 blanks and new 3V blanks for the new Kodiak pattern. I would consider making some test knives from 15n20. Bowies and other choppers, perhaps a new gladius or other designs that are easy to make from bar stock without enlisting waterjet service.

@@sressentials Awesome. The limiting factor of 15N20 is that it is primarily for band saw blades, thus often only offered in thin stock,coiled.

I'll have to get back to you on that later this week. Computer model has that information

That's a good idea. I will update the sheath to include some tie down holes

I wish i had time to do custom stuff, but i only make sheaths for my own designs unless it's a batch that is worth the trouble to make jigs for

I still have some of the new version. I'm going to shift back into knife making asap. LOTS of old (new) work to finish including tomahawk and sword blanks as well as lots of stuff that is already heat treated

@sressentials are they for sale?? I would like to grab one.

@@thetrashrabbit email me, sressentials@gmail.com

sent@@sressentials

email me sressentials@gmail, new version , no more hangry

the next generation Kodiak will have more sheath carry configurations. a drop leg waist rig is possible, the long handle makes it cumbersome to carry on the waist, however

I'd love to sell you something some day when I get a few things finished. Life has been throwing monkey wrenches. I'm hoping to get back in real action during the summer.

@@sressentials divorced after 20 years, then lost my house to a mudslide shortly after, insurance did not pay a penny. Believe me I understand my key wrenches, lol. I look forward to it and good luck sir.

@@sressentials Sir please update your website, your works is too fucking awesome but your website is lacking

@@jeremyadams7872 I apologize for the website. My expertise in that area is limited, and my time has been drawn in other directions for too long. I'll make a point to try harder to get it fixed up this summer

I agree I can’t wait until you restock on your blades cause all of them look cool

I have some in progress. It's been a very squirrelly year and a half. Email me at sressentials@gmail.com to discuss.

You're absolutely right.

I haven't done the exhaust yet. I drove the car a while but i didn't properly torque or stake the axle nuts so the rear driver side nut backed off enough to ruin the abs sensor and therefore messing up the cruise control. Replacing the sensor didn't fix the problem so i think the magnetic pickup in the hub must have worn through too. Ive been driving another car but have new hubs ready to install. Without cruise control, it's not fun on the highway. This spring i hope to paint it and finish up the mechanical stuff aside from exhaust which is cost prohibitive. Hopefully I'll find a bargain on equal length headers and do a two into one. I can't understand why two into one into two is a thing.
