Green River Camp/kitchen knife

[Shinken]

Has stainless steel bolts and a riveted oil dyed and neatsfoot soaked 3mm veg tanned sheath.

Very capable slicing tool

A very fine knife Shinken. The only problem is it will only last for a century or so..Here's mine, it was issued to me as a 16 year old Deck Boy in 1960. The leather sheath surrendered to the salt water after about 35 years, so it's now hidden inside that old webbing belt I stitched over it. Still keeps an edge and is now "semi-retired"..

For use in the kitchen, it would be better if the blade hung below the handle but, yes, definitely a good looking blade

 

[Hoodoo]

That is some beautiful work!

Thanks chaps

For use in the kitchen, it would be better if the blade hung below the handle

Depends what kitchen task, for veggies i think your right. But for Butchery of roast carving it works a treat

 

[harryhaller]

Yeah, I was thinking about veggies and my knuckles getting in the way.

Yes, for carving and slicing meat it looks like it would be great

The veg chopping problem can also be solved by holding your hand over the back of the blade or handle rather than as one normally grips a knife - not too difficult to get used to

That's a great knife and there sure is a lot of history behind it. Well done!

Or you can hold the veggies on the chopping board and have the handle of the board, the blade is 6" so no problem there. Dont want to sell this but i think i might have to
