Dave Canterbury PLSK1 copy

[topknot]

Hi

This is my copy of the Dave Canterbury PLSK1, i asked my mate silver fox if he would let me use his knife as a pattern.
The knife is made from 01 tool steel and has all the same sizes as the PLSK1 but i did not like the small scandi ground, so mine goes a bit higher up the blade but not to the top and i have made the handle a bit wider by the black line on the blade
All the work on the blade was done with hand tools and a electric drill , the problem i got is the heat treatment of the blade

This is it some far



Thank you for looking
All comment weclome

Very nice

Great work! Can't wait to see it with a handle!

Really nice. Whenever I see that knife I always wonder why is has a scandi grind. I think yours is an improvement.

There are makers that will heat treat for you.

Show off

First rate. Look forward to seeing more.

Maybe worth dropping Hillbill a pm as I recall he heat treats his own.

I like scandi grinds but I think your grind suits that knife better,I also think your handle width at the ricasso is an improvement ,well done ,remember to post pics when it is finished

I found the handle on the PLSK1 to small at that part and back to far to have a good grip, but that's only me.
Yes will post more.

Love the primary grind line. Good job!

 

[John Fenna]

That looks good - I bet the leather work will be a treat too!

Very nice looking Sabre grind, should come out nice and slicey when all is done, good work.

Mark (Hillbill) is certainly worth a PM for the heat treat, if not I can do it for you in my kiln the only snag would be the round trip postage adding to the cost, I'm in France!!
