Thank you

Hey up, anyone in to super heroes just finished up the latest survival tool and thought I’d share. A design I tweaked from a custom knife I made for Shayne at Eagle Ridge Survival in Ireland 80crv2 Caswell dipped Ironman hello red gold handles Sabre ground with convex edge 90 degree spine...

I’ve really not decided yet!

Thank you for the kind words

To be honest I haven’t weighed it, it’s not crazy heavy as it’s only 13” (ish) top to bottom... I’m tentatively calling it the..... Tomo-hatchet

Well here she is, I finally found the time to indulge myself in a project I’ve wanted to do for some time. 1/4” 80crv2 Verified 56 Rockwell gun blued Micarta scales held on with titanium flared tubes. Anyway I’m to the money shot.

Thanks mate I’ve done a few of these like this, keep meaning to sort myself one out! Lol

There’s a few options out there to upgrade the scales but realistically why would you buy a knife to mod it straight away, it’s a nice knife straight from the factory already that’s for sure though

yeah hot spots galore on the original scales, like you say not useable if you want to enjoy using it lol

Some mods I’ve done last week to what is already a decent knife, but lacks in the way of thick enough scales to make it comfortable and creates hot spots... a well known trait of this knife reported reasonably frequently. This is the second one of these I’ve done this year and I’m sure it won’t...

That one was about £240

Hi, yeah the steel itself is great, limited thicknesses in the U.K. though 3.5mm is thickest I’ve seen so far. It’s a great steel to use and relatively cost effective to buy and like you say goes against the grain of other stainless steels.... in that it’s tool steel tough, it won’t hold an edge...

Yeah, I’ve a paragon kiln and cryo in the workshop. Quench with aluminium plates and air compressor then in to cryo.

Here’s a little one I finished last week, I was a little sad to see it go but you can’t keep em all (apparently) I’ve probably only made about 10 of these Puuko’s so far which I’ve named the “Ratatoskr Puuko” After the mischievous squirrel that runs up the world tree In viking mythology...
