New Slither

**Mike Stewart** · 02-08-2006, 09:49 AM

Hey gang,

This is the new Slither.

It is a Wicked Cutter.

I love Reverse Curve Blades and I've been working on this one for over a year.

Finally had time to get it into production.

The Specs are:

Overall Length: 9.5 Inches
Blade Length:5 Inch
Blade Steel: A-2
Blade Thickness: .170 Inch
Grind: Convex to Sharp
Bolster: Nickel Silver
Weight:7 Ounces

I am building a bunch of them right now.

If you are interested--Bart1-Bob can get them for you.

We will be doing all the handle variations on this one.

Thanks,

Mike........................................

Cutty,

I couldn't figure out which plane of the blade to add the Blood Groove.

Had to leave it out.

Here is one that I like.

Black Carbon Fiber & Orange Fibermascus

They are starting to come off the line in a lot of different handles.

Bet that would slip between the ribs with authority! No guard though?

Just kidding!

This came off the line today.

I think it's the nicest piece of Claro Walnut Burl I have ever seen.

Mike,

Isn't there some saying:

"When in doubt, groove 'em all?" or something?

Not really my thing, grooves. I prefer overt animation with excessive blood spray. But, that's just me.

Really, though, these Slithers are quite awesome looking. They should be awesome cutters and great in hand.
