camp knife in o1

[mark.177]

just finished the scales on this one, has a 1/4" thick 7 1/2" blade 13" overall. made from o1 tool steel, scales oak with 5mm brass pins. just one coat of tung oil so far and of course needs a sheath. light is really bad so sorry i cant get better pics. not added my makers "red dot" mark yet... weighs in at 1lb

That is superb.

I just wish I had a use for something that big.

Beast!

any plans for the sheath, something fancy or simple?

olive kydex with leather belt loop i think? keep it practical. not sure what to do with it? more an exercise in seeing how big i could go with my current set up and this thing is on the limit! it is fantastic chopping kindling! cleared a fair bit of ash from the bottom of our garden with it up to 4 inchs with no trouble. balance point is about 10mm in front of the plunges it cuts deep and throws some decent sized chips for its size!

That looks like a great tool for champ chores, I use a BK2 for the same sort of thing

Sounds like it'll be lovely when finished mate. i'm still in awe at how fast you've managed to go from never having made a knife to turning out stunner after stunner!

What about a stacked leather handle, brass bolster/capped big bellied hunting style knife? real traditional sort of thing with a full convex, like the old Marbles and USA madebranded stuff.
