CS 1080 Drop-Point Knife

Quite the story behind this knife. 

In early 2019, I took some time off work due to health and family-related issues. I was very sick and my family spent so much time taking care of me. All the while, a colleague of mine covered for me. 

To express my gratitude, I put this knife together for him. My goal was to “do all the little things right” and deliver a quality blade. The knife features hand-sanded 1080 steel clad with red oak scales and brass hardware.

This is also the first knife to include a sheath as part of the original design.

Two Fun Facts: First, this project was also the only one I have attempted to fully capture in video. There are a series of 1-minute video clips on my Instagram channel:

Second, none of the power tools or other equipment featured in the above videos cost more than $50 retail. 

Wait, sorry. The drill press was $75 after a coupon.
