I’ve had a whole bunch of people ask me about solid handle scales for the Drifter... the Drifter was intentionally and ergonomically designed for cord wrap, for good reason. I designed this knife (the drop point version) for my brother to take on his epic 2,200mi. long hike through the AT. As a trail knife, it’s designed to be both as useful and as light as possible. It weighs under 6oz. w/sheath included and there are an abundance of survival uses for the 7’ of 550 cord weaved through the handle. I’ll just leave it at that.
I’ll go ahead and start posting pics of these last one-offs at they are getting wrapped up, there are some pretty sick ones, this being one of them.

What about 3V?
As a custom maker,
I find for a knife made to cut that 4V will support better geometry and will have better wear resistance than 3V
If I want durability, I can use geometry and lower hardness with 4V rather than dropping to 3V.
It's worth mentioning that CPM Cruwear is a nice sweet spot in toughness between 3V and 4V as well.
However, I max the 4V out for cutting performance, not durability. I like the insane hardness it gets.
I find there are tougher steels than 3V I'd rather use like Z-Tuff, CPM1V or S5 ig I need absolute, raw toughness.
Nothing wrong with 3V, just opening peoples minds to other possibilities.
People are stuck with what there know and companies don't give people any options.
