Military knives have a lot of history behind them and a lot of fans. Yet they tend to be inconvenient and bulky for everyday carrying and use. Les George offer a solution by taking inspiration from a classic U.S. World War II trench knife design and turning it into a handy folder.
The MK3 folder design was based on the M3 knife from WW2. The 63Rc Magnacut* blade is .150 inches thick and about 3 3/4 long. The knife is about 8 1/2 inches over all. The blade has tumble finished flats, but I left the bevels with the mechanical finish straight off the grinder. I love the contrast and have always wanted to do a project like that, so here it is! The frames are 3D machined with a slight continuous dome to add to the streamlined feel of the knife in hand. The DLC blades have the logos deep etched underneath the DLC coating. I have been carrying one of these myself for a few months and I really like using it.
