Deval Wolfshead

[CLEM]

Took delivery of this beauty the other day, straight from Sheffields sharpsmith Mr Stuart Mitchell. Its a Shraftin/utility/survival derivative of this parishes JonathanD's Deval Bushcrafter and Stuart's Secare. It's in SF100 Stainless, G10 scales and blaze orange spacers. It fits my bosted=broken hand perfectly. I chose to try a full flat grind as opposed to Scandy ground blade, so many swear by full flat so I reckoned I too will give it a good go. So far it's cracking good. It's going to see a lot of use over the coming summer months. As I say so far it's tremendous

Nice. The orange liner can mean the difference between a lost knife and found knife!

Handle looks comfortable and ‘safe’. Something many knife makers today forget.
A Scandi grind is a flat grind, the only difference is that a Scandi grind stops closer to the edge.
Scandi, saber, full. All flat grinds!

You will put a secondary / micro bevel on it I assume? Easier to sharprn.

Wow! Lovely knife Clem, and truly the ******* child of a Secare and Deval. Is that a slight recurve I see? I’m not a fan of sharpening them, but love their function.

And well done for going flat grind, you’ve got a real decent user there.

Looking on the picture again, I can see it has a secondary bevel already.
So technically it is a compound grind ( I think the name is in english) .
So much easier for you to sharpen it than a flat ( Scandi, sabre, full) grind!

I think the grinds without a secondary bevel were made because they were quicker, easier and therefore cheaper to manufacture in a factory profuction line.

The only question I have, why the front lanyard hole? Estetics?
