For Sale I have a bushtool made by myself , bit of an odd one this ,52100 bearing steel blade 58rc tuffnol handle with 6mm brass pins and tube, butt plate is 01.
Makers mark is a bit faint and there is a mark on the rear side of the blade.
£130 all in (no sheath) add £10 for overseas.

I have a couple of these and they are truly excellent. Someone please remove the temptation!

 

[robevs73]

I'm open to sensible offers.

How difficult is bearing steel to sharpen ....or does it hold an edge for such a long time spending longer sharpening is a good trade off?

 

[robevs73]

It's harder than O1 and softer than d2. My steep grinds mean that the edge is pretty strong.

I thought the handle turned out nice on it.
Glad you like it.
