CS 26C3 Utility Knife
CS 26C3 Utility Knife
A perfect example of a “long” build.
I started this knife in 2020 and had it cut out and profiled. It was not until the summer of 2021 that I finally found the opportunity to make any progress.
26C3 high carbon steel offers a hard cutting edge and the Jade G10 fiberglass composite adds some interesting personality. Unfortunately, I did manage to get a little overzealous with the pin holes which caused a couple of aberrations in the material. These glitches are cosmetic but not easily fixed.
The photos were taken before sharpening.
