Hi Folks!
I thought it was time for a new Knife - so I decided to make a drawing and went to my knifemaker.
After we bespoke my preferes he began with the work on the knife......
technical details:
Steel: Böhler N690 (stainless)
type: fulltang
bladethickness: 3mm (1/8")
blade length: 3 1/8"
blade width: 1"
handle: curly birch (brown stained)
handle length: 3.35"
Pins & Lanyard hole: stainless steel
grind: full convex
hardeness: 60° RC
Special details:
The first 2/3 of the spine are rounded off, for more comfort and no blisters on the thumb!
The last 1/3 (close to the tip) is squared for striking a ferrorod!
The Lanyard is made out of 550 Paracord and a small piece of antler!
The grain on the wood turned out beautifully and after the brown staining it was awesome.........But have a look:
I think a small knife will just do all jobs fine in bushcrafting and there is no necessary for a big knife except personal preference - but thats just my opinion.
If you know how you have to handle a knife and how you can do the job easier you have won. The good thing about this is that you can easy learn this by practising a few techniques.
After you learn all those techniques you will see that a small knife can do the same job in the same time or faster (because of easy handling)
That´s what I´ve found out - so here is my new knife...............
Here is one pic with flashlight
The sheath I made myself! It´s made out of 3mm vegedtanned leather and has a nice light brown color. It´s hot waxed and for Neckcarry designed.
Sry for the indoorpics only - but I hope to make some outdoor pictures this weekend to show you how the knife performs in the woods!
It would be nice if you can leave a comment how you like the knife (also if you don´t like it).........
Thanks for watching and have a great time
Mike
