Hi All,
After having built up a couple of bushcraft/Woodlore type kits, and really loved the build process, I'm now looking to try something smaller.
I'm after a neck knife building kit. I don't really have the gear for good heat treating so need a heat treated blade. If push comes to shove, I have a few bits of of micarta and nice woods for handles and leather for a sheath so just a blade blank will do.
I'm after something compact (2.0" to 2.5" blade?) tough, bombproof and robust. Ideally something with (some) corrosion resistance so it can be the be-all, use everywhere necker.
I'll be making my own sheath (probably one simple/basic one and a more complete one with options for the knife to be pars of a general survival kit).
Any suggestions greatly appreciated,
James
