I just finished up this NYS variant and I wanted to share it with you guys. I am calling it the Northwest Special. The dimensions are the same as a normal NYS, but I wanted to give it a bit more of an EDC useful grind.
I love the double hollow grind on the original NYS, but a flat grind is bit more functional for civil tasks.
The scales are carbon fiber, with white liners and my copper/carbon fiber pins. The blade is L6 and has a dark stonewash finish. I stitched up a crossdraw style sheath for it as well.
Here are the specs.
OAL - 7 1/16"
Blade - 3.25"
Steel - .130" L6
Handle - Carbon fiber w/ white G10 liners
Pins - Copper jacketed carbon fiber, copper lanyard
Price - $300 + $10 sh
