VULPEX KNIVES - LOYAL LIMA / knife making / custom knife / Messer machen / CNC

Hallo friends out there !

Here i want to show the making-of of the "LOYAL LIMA" knife i made almost two months ago.
This knife was an special order from a special person. It is a custom made knife for a german soldier. The knife is designed to cope a lot of different tasks in the field.

The given targets by the customer w
ere:

- making a robust and sharp knife for hard use but also finer work, like batoning wood and finer detail work in the forest
- it should be overall dark and kind of "used" design
- the knife has to be fixed by a sheath at the soldiers belt or tactical gear
- my lovely material copper should be a highlighting element in the knife
- He told me to make a EDC bushrafter to take out to the forest and other tasks legally in germany
- choose a handle material to withstand the raw use

So i decided to make a knife that combines those all in one piece of artwork.

Some details:

Steel - 80CrV2 / 1.2235 carbon steel with dark stonewashed look
Handle - olive drab linen micarta with offset liners made out of copper / copper pins to mount strings etc.
Sheath - olive Kydex made for tek lok mount
Grind - flat grind with a 44 degree cutting edge for finer and raw use
It was a pleasure for me to make this knife. Thanks for spending more than 1 1/2 hours on the highway to pick the finished knife up in person.
I will never forget that moment when u held your baby in your hands. That shining eyes, that smile and that speechlessness was worth all the hard work my firend !
