Description: This is a rare find: Handmade, Hand Forged by Dan Certo as a custom order in 2013. This is a 9 inch blade MX4 Punisher in 3V steel with his proprietary Hot Enhancement process; Dan once said that this was the sort of knife you need when building a new city in a post apocalyptic world. The Hot Enhancement process includes: Hand Forged, Triple Thermo Quenched, Cryogenic Freeze, Triple Tempered. This treatment creates a nearly indestructible knife. It was an option that practically doubled the cost of a custom knife. Blade is 9 inches long, 2.25 inches wide, 0.25 thick.Overall length is: 14.75 inches. Handmade leather sheath and a sharpening steel included. This was part of a three knife custom order from 2013: I cannot find the birth certificate cards, but I did have them at one time. So, I know the materials and enhancements are correct. Ask any questions prior to bidding please. Look over the high resolution photos carefully, they are the best part of the description. If needed, request any additional photos. From Relentless: "Dan Certo is one of the most highly sought after Blade-Smiths for the Special Operations Community. Dan's knives have been used by many of our deployed Special Operations warriors throughout the War on Terror. Hand forged by Dan Certo himself using CPM 3V High Performance Stainless Steel. Each has been "Hot Enhanced"...Triple Thermo Quenched, Cryogenically Frozen, and then Triple Tempered. The result is a knife that can not be destroyed. This knife will be around forever!! Some additional info on the steel and "Hot Enhancements" used on these 3 Custom knives:CPM 3V Super High Performance Stainless Steel: Super performance with strength far exceeding all other steels. More expensive due to its difficulty to work with, but completely worth the extra price for a knife that will endure brutally extreme conditions.Hot Enhancement: Hand Forged, Triple Thermo Quenched, Cryogenic Freeze, Triple tempered. Hot enhancement turns an industrial strength tool into a super knife, enhancing the breakage resistance and edge holding x4. These enhancements are for the most demanding users. In practicality you won't need them unless you plan on building cities in the jungle with your knife asyour only tool, but a knife with these enhancements can do anything and remain unhurt."
