RWL34 and Natural Tufnol Hunter/Bushcraft Utility
£200 £175 posted UK (Tracked 48 age Verified) - PayPal
Made some years ago to test a design, then ground thinner and fully refinished. Saw very little use in its first guise.
Blade:- 3.5 inch RWL34 cryo treated stainless. 1/8" stock, flat ground with a distal taper, somewhat convex edge. Continuous curve for extra cutting performance. Belt finished to 800grit and polish.
Handle:- Whale Brand Tufnol. Hidden morticed tang (12-10mm x aprox 3/4 handle length). Hidden internal pins. Bonded with 24 hour cure toughened epoxy. This is a small version of the handle used on the Spyderco BushcraftUK. Noticeably thinner. I have a similarly constructed and shaped handle on my personal small belt knife, in use since 2018. For reference, I wear a medium/size 8 glove.
OAL:- 7 7/8 inch
Sheath:- Coyote Kydex and black PVC belt loop for horizontal carry. The sheath is drilled to take a Bladetech Small Tek-lok horizontal, vertical or 45 degrees. Sheath is fastened with Chicago screws and rubber washers, allowing a level of disassembly for cleaning. This too is very like my personal small knife.
Weight (mass):- Knife in sheath 155g. Without sheath 105g
