Harny blade is amazing and super sharp. Duane is always looking for new materials and had mentioned to us that he found an awesome wood to use as a scale.
The scale is made from a piece of specially processed, rock hard, spalted maple. The multi colors looks awesome in changing light. Duane says that the stabilization process along with the harness of maple means that this sucka is still ready for real use!
The Blade: Sleek double hollow ground wharncliffe profile (Duane calls it a pike grind). CPM S30V stainless steel in brushed finish. No jimping on spine for clean look. NOTE: Dimple in blade near Duane's signature is from hardness test. Duane has informed us he is now personally testing each blade post-heat treat. The Frame: Standard SNG profile (flat) with matte bronze lock side and upgraded titanium hardware. Clip and hardware is a brighter satin finish bronze for contrast. Front scale is stabilized spalted maple with beautiful colors and pattern. Duane's custom SNG features a couple new details. To make it smooth on the off side if the clip is switched, Duane moved the lock bar scallop inside the frame. Notice the lower line which is normally straight on a SNG, now has a gently flowing curve. Overall Length: 8 1/8 in. Blade Length: 3 5/8 in. Cutting Edge Length: 2 7/8. Blade Steel: CPM S30V Stainless. The item "Strider Custom Duane Dwyer Spalted Maple SNG Knife" is in sale since Wednesday, April 06, 2016.
