Nice lines, good work!

I agree about Scandi being a poor choice for battoning, but my comment still stands, you only have to watch some of the bushcraft type reviews on youtube about fixed blades that thicker is better.

Anyway it's a lovely knife mark. (I still have one of marks earlier knives a little chopper he called it )

Oooh, that sheath is a beaut!

Mark you are the master of mixing leather, kydex, and steel on a sheath mate

 

[Janne]

Awesome! Love the streaks. Gives life and interest to the leather.

So the forest dwellers since prehistory in Fenno Scandia are wrong?

Maybe i'm not being very clear....

I would not choose a Scandi to batton with as a first choice, i agree with other comments there.

What I was attempting to address, was that IMHO, it seems that a lot of people (myself not being one of them!!) think that thicker stock is better. End of. I was attempting to explain their rationale, ie; they think its stronger as an example. If you re-read my post carefully, you will see that I said "some people think thicker is better" I didnt say "I personally think thicker is better"

I agree, if i battoned alot, I wouldnt use my Bushcrafter in Scandi grind, i would use one of my axes. However, that doesnt mean I havent used my Bushcrafter to Batton the odd log, and since my Bushcrafter Scandi has a very light convex edge added to it, Battoning is no problem for my knife.

The knife and the sheath.

 

[Rickyd]

How much would a knife and sheath like this cost?

 

[keen-edge]

Awesome looking knife fella both knife and sheath spot on

 

[MartiniDave]

That's a thing of beauty. Really nice little outfit that.

 

[mark.177]

thank you, managed to get another four heat treated today, two in 2mm and another two in 3mm

 

[mark.177]

been working on the sheaths for these today, always get anxious working with leather as so easy to mess it up. they'll need wet forming/shaping and finishing once the knives are finished

 

[Tiley]

It really is a thing of beauty, with form following function.

P.M. sent.

 

[Totumpole]

As always mark, that is a stunning piece of work.

 

[mark.177]
