Second knife ?

[alick]

Prompted by Dave Barker's post, I'm interested to know if anyone carries a second knife when they're out and about.

I have a woodlore knife that I'm very happy with, but consider it much too bulky for fine carving, whittling and repairs. I imaging field archers must need something small for repairing fletchings for example.

I'm working on ideas for a small fixed blade. No more than 2" blade length and maybe 1/2" edge to spine as my first home made knife. I think a hidden tang design would be very appropriate.

Cheers,

Alick,

Have you seen the Bark River Mini Canadian knife, I bought one with bright Orange G10 handle and it is made from A2 carbon steel and has a convex edge.

I borrowed this shot from SgtMike88ret from the TLT forum

It's about 6.5" long with a 2.5" blade if I'm correct and comes with an leather pouch sheath.

Also available with an Green or Black Micarta grip or an Bone (stag like) handle.

Size compared to Spork:
