New Bushcraft knife

[SkogKniv]

I just got this one in from BushcraftNorthwest.com it is called the O1(for the steel)

The scratches on the face are from me not the way it was shipped.

The knife is almost 8 1/2 inches long so the when you see the image with the firesteel know that the firesteel is way oversized. It is called the Armageddon firesteel.

Guess no one likes it haha.

Or, maybe people are asleep? I greatly enjoy the youtube videos made by the guy who runs BCNW, and I don't doubt his knives are well thought-out. The little thumb-rest in particular is something I'd like in my own knives.

 

[SkogKniv]

Yes I like the knife a lot.

 

[Hoodoo]

I think he has a nice design there.

I like the lanyard

Love abit of Antler (it is antler right?)

 

[SkogKniv]

Yes it is antler. I always like throwing it in there haha. You can see on the neck rig I capped the 550 rig with a piece of antler.

That's nice looking knife, I like the idea of a Scandinavian style blade and handle on a stock removal piece of flat bar. I had thought that the beautiful Scandanavian lines would be far easier to reproduce. I think your scratches come from the Kydex. I cant understand why people use that to make a knife as almost every knife I have seen with a kydex sheath is scratched due to the material trapping dirt and grit or something else that scratches it.

Its always going to be tricky to please people with a knife such as this as its a marriage of old and new materials and techniques from across the world. I suspect it will not be everyones cup of tea but I think the maker has pulled it off and I like it, apart from the Kydex. Some will say that must be the traditionalist in me. its not I think the material is just wrong for knife use.

"Armageddon" - does that refer to the power of the spark or when it will come in handy

Nice knife.

"I think your scratches come from the Kydex. I cant understand why people use that to make a knife as almost every knife I have seen with a kydex sheath is scratched due to the material trapping dirt and grit or something else that scratches it."

It was not the kydex is was from my own use. The kydex sheath doesn't make any scratches as I can see yet. I do agree though that I enjoy a good leather sheath more though. The kydex sheath was something the maker threw in because I had to wait for the knife. It was not needed I told him but it arrived in the box anyways haha. A good purchase overall. I have enjoyed the tool so far!

I prefer leather for the look but kydex is far more practical.

It doesn't hold moisture and there is far less risk of the blade sticking through it into you if you take a tumble.

The scratches are only cosmetic and don't affect the function of the tool at all.

Nice knife, the handle shape looks comfortable.

 

[SkogKniv]

Scratches I put on it are nothing a little high grit sand paper can't take out. Since those pictures I have buffed them out to a nice shine.

Yes kydex is very practical. I will always like leather more however. If it is well treated leather it should last you a lifetime.

Nice looking user that Leif, I like the chunky handle which looks really comfortable. Thanks for sharing

 

[SkogKniv]

Yes the handle is very comfortable.

That is a nice knife Bru.

 

[Siberianfury]

i have one of these, sent it off for some new stabilised burr scales though, but its a brilliant knife, to me it combines the puukko with the standard bushy, making it a brilliant tool for all kinds of applications,.

 

[Chris the Cat]

These are good knives and well thought of by users.
Basic and pretty bombproof.
I found the handle very comfortable and it held a great edge.
Mine,however,is at the bottom of a Swedish lake!!
If you get bored of it anytime,give me a shout! ( You can keep the kydex tho!..lol! )
My best.
Chris.

How is the comfort of the handle "in hand" after extensive use?




Kind regards
