Stick tang bushcraft knife WIP

[Niels]

The knife is now done.





Shiney pic!



No riveting in the pommel, I decided to trust the epoxy in this one.



With his older brother in the background:



I'll get to a sheath as soon as I can. Thanks for looking.

Nice work mate , I love the handle.

 

[Albus Culter]

Stunning, truly stunning.

But showing both together. Oow, tough one, which do I prefer?????

Love the yew, but I have a love for that birch too :Wow:

[Two Socks]

Great work Niels! I envy your skill. That turned out beautiful.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Stop it now neils.....your far too skilled.


Top job there mate.
Both are lovely knives and I'm sure they are both joys to use.
Tried out the new un yet?

 

[Mesquite]

That is superb workmanship Niels... you have a real gorgeous knife there

 

[Macaroon]

That's a wonderful knife, Niels; a very skilled piece of work indeed. How on earth will you be able to choose between them when you go out? Looks as though you'll be carrying two knives with you, I know I would! atb mac

 

[HHazeldean]

That is absolutely stunning!!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

WOW. That is impressive and I think you have more than done justice to Marks blade.
Are you going to make a traditional sheath for it too.

 

[HillBill]

Looks sweet mate. Nice fit too

 

[Niels]

Thanks a bunch everyone!

Haven't really used it all that much yet but I expect both grinds have their pros and cons

Tried out the new un yet?

I've carved a few feather sticks with it and as I've never used a flat grind before it takes some getting used to. That said, it does work very well and the angle is the same as on the scandi one so that's what I expected. My main concern is how long the black finish on the bevel will hold up, but if it doesn't hold I might just polish the whole bevel. Might even do that anyway to add shineyness but I'm not sure yet...

Are you going to make a traditional sheath for it too.

Yes I hope to post a picture here when it's done.
