I know a few of you here are into the Bushcraft style knives. Well I just saw this posted by Tom Krein over on USN.

3 1/8" flat ground cutting edge of A2 steel with a 7 5/8" overall length.

Green Canvas Micarta scales with Red Liners & Mosaic Pins.

Heat Treat by Paul Bos at RC-60.

Very nice work, must be a pleasure to use.

wow, that's fantastic!

[Jimd]

That's an awesome knife! Love to own one in the future.
How much would a model like that run?

[HoB]

I don't know for sure, Jim, but most Krein pieces are still very affordable for a customs and the amount of exposure he gets currently due to his fantastic regrinds. I would expect this to be around $200, but I am going to ask him aswell, because this is about the most beautiful small fixed I have seen in a long time.

beautiful knife! reminds me of some of Bob Dozier's knives which i find equally appealing.... :)

Tom Krein is a true gentleman, a very approachable, personable, nice guy. I want to buy one of his knives one day for just that reason. His Kydex sheaths are truly excellent works of art; some makers have a hard time making their Kydex turn out as well as their knives.

Tom Krein learned his trade by working for Bob Dozier for a few years. I actually now prefer Tom Krein's knives over Bob Dozier's knives.

Jimd - Try shooting a PM to Tom over at USN regarding this knife. I would guess the price to be around the mid $200s.

thanx for the background info Halfneck..... :)
I believe I'm gonna have to cave in for an ultra thin "Krein Grind" on one of my Zdp189 Clipits or mebbe a Persian ala The Deacon's... :cool:
.....I haven't decided yet though..... :confused:

Cool knife, though I'm a fan of pretty much every Krein I've ever seen. Tom's stuff is great quality and value.

Great workmanship!
