Bushcraft Knife - Stuart Mitchell

[Rhodri]

Hi everybody,

This is for sale over on BB as well. It's been there a couple of days and hands have been kept firmly in pockets, so I thought I'd try for some extra exposure here...

This is a fantastic version of a commonly copied knife. It's not Stu's fault - I commissioned it

Anyway, here's the knife in question:

It's 8 1/2" OAL, with an exactly 4" blade (I wanted it slightly shorter than most woody-type things). 4mm thick Sandvik 12C27.

White linen micarta and stainless hidden bolt fasteners.

Beatifully balanced, with a nicely tapered tang.

I asked Stu to make me a crisply designed 'minimalist' woodlore type thing with forgiving and durable materials. Hence the micarta and 12C27 (an underrated and very fine steel IMHO).

It is flawlessly executed and a joy to handle. It has been sheathed fantastically by Singtek...

Both knife and sheath are mint.

An outstanding example of a contemporary bushcraft knife.

I should make a drawer queen of it so I can get the thing out when Stu's famous - but I simply can't afford to And it will make a really great user...

So, I'd like £160 for it. At that price it owes me a fair bit, but I need to sell... NOW £150 NOW SOLD

Price includes Paypal fees and RMSD to anywhere.

Thanks for looking,
Rod

I can't believe this is still here - as I mentioned in my heads up thread, this is the same hardness as the 01 tool steel, with NO RUST fear.

Mine is very similar - slightly longer, and a joy to use. This is silly money for a beautiful knife which is superb value for money and a great user. They are not that hard to sharpen - get em on the £5 sharpening kit.

This is worth twice the money, honest.

Thanks Dougster, you're not wrong. Good knife.

But it's now sold.
