beachmaster Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hey guys, I remember that there used to be a section for us blade guys, and I can't find it, so please move my post if I'm in the wrong place, and I apologize in advance. It's been awhile, but last time I checked in here I was in the prototype phase with my survival knife, which ended up being called the Super Khuk, which is now going into mid tech production by Dry Creek Forge in Horsecave Ky. The knife draws heavily on Nepalese Khukuris, but on many other modern knives and designs and designers as well. The Knife all came together from testing knives, and being generally disappointed in handling performance in one way or another. Anyways, without further adieu, here is the release footage! A chicken gets skinned... So if your feint of heart, maybe this isn't the video, or the Knife, for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Looks great @beachmaster!! What a great tool. Didn't think the chicken skinny was bad at all. there is a sticky topic in the clubhouse titled "blades" but this is just as good a place for your own topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Awesome. I'm in! I'll sell the other kidney! I've wanted a khuk but none of those imports really spoke to me style wise. Edited May 15, 2016 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Any idea on a price range yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmaster Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 My partners has G10 grips, but these first 5 production pieces for blade will be canvas micarta, with the exception of one in some CRAZY wood. Outside of that, these will be available as semi customs, so for handle materials, the sky will be the limit! 80crv2 is the steel we are using. Can it shave after cutting down a tree? Probably, there are a lot of factors involved, like how much dirt is on the tree, what type of tree, and what size, but most likely, yes! It's holds an incredible edge and is super, Super tough. First production run of 12 knives is planned to be around $350. With all that goes into making one of these, and comparatively on the market, that is probably quite a bit too cheap, but my partner and I will be getting paid 0, and $100 will go back to the business. I'll get some sweet pictures up once I get them up on a photo sharing sight :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Beach, Did Peter help you with this at all? I know you were a big fan of his blades after you won that contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmaster Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Peter has helped me, but not directly on this design. I'll actually be at a table right next to him at BladeShow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your sheaths looking like? Kydex? Leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmaster Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Currently the sheath option is Leather. Getting professional Kydex done that is PREMIUM is expensive, and people buying a knife in this price range will know the difference between a good garage kydex sheath, and a primo one. So, right now we have some sweet leather, and it is affordable, so we can offer than and keep the price acceptable :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
