Knifemaking

[ray1970]

my goal is to price them out at an affordable level.

While everyone's idea of "affordable" is a bit different, I have pretty much given up on buying anything priced too low for fear of it being "cheap". My last two knives that I picked up for "survival"/field use were a Cold Steel SRK and an ESEE-4. The first was right at $100 and the later was around $135. I was very impressed with both of them.

I might even make the grip with a ParaCord wrap and make Micarta an option.

I'm not a paracord fan when it comes to knife handles. I do like the micarta though.
