lauri drop point scandi in curly birch and buffalo

[Siberianfury]

this is one of a few i have made to sell in the local shops in glasto, however im gonna have to work a fair bit faster to keep up with orders :/



this one mounts a lauri carbon drop point blade, curly birch handle with a leather and buflo horn spacer. i still need to aquire leather for sheaths though :/



i wanted to go for almost zero transition between handle and blade, and whilst this may be a bit harder to do its alot more comfortable to use like this IMO.



what do you guys think?

Yup, I like it

Looks like a comfy user

I've seen a couple of blades that have the cutting edge right upto the handle/bolster and am curious about them.

my question is how easy is it to sharpen.....you'll need a really square edge stone to keep the whole lenght sharp....and will this then mark the buffulo bolster?

not made my mind up about that issue but the knife you made looks like it will take a beating.....good work!
