K9 Dingo

[kwakster]

This is my latest aquirement, a K9 Dingo which was made by Tom Krein & Daniel Koster in a series of only 50 pieces.
The knife is hardened by Paul Bos himself, and mine has number 13.
Pictures were taken from other forums.

Specs of the steel used in this knife:

'CPM 3V is a new tool steel made by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy process, designed to provide maximum resistance to breakage and chipping in a highly wear-resistant steel.
CPM 3V offers impact toughness greater than A2, D2,Cru-Wear or CPM M4, approaching the levels of S7 and
other shock resistant grades, while providing excellent wear resistance, high hardness and thermal stability for
coatings.
Intended to be used at HRC 58-60 CPM 3V can replace high alloy tool steels in wear applications
where chronic tool breakage and chipping problems are encountered.
The CPM process produces very homogeneous, high quality steel characterized by superior dimensional stability,
grindability, and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional processes.'

Really nice! and the sheath is very well thought out. Very high rise when wanting on the belt, and a ton of other options when using the clip.
