The purists are gonna hate this one!!

[dazcon]

Well, this is my latest creation. Kind of bushy-meets-tactical. 6mm O1 toolsteel,black and orange paper micarta scales, orange liners, mosaic pins and a bit of file-work on the spine.

It just needs a good polish and a sheath making.
Thanks for looking.

now thats good !

 

[bushwacker bob]

Its two knives thick and twice as heavy as it needs to be, but undeniably good.
I love the blade profile.

 

[Chris the Cat]

I would use one of those in 3mm stock.
Good workmanship.
My best.

The blade profile isn'y my bag but I love the handle.
I fancy a bit of micarta on my spydie bushie.

6mm thick

Odd blade shape

Purists be damned to hell and back in a hand basket, nice looking knife (ok maybe the hump is a bid weird ) but apart from that, well done

Wow thatza beauty mate. Pure dead brilliant!

 

[JonathanD]

Cracking knife. It's good to see something different to the norm. Good on ya

 

[Everything Mac]

I like that mate! bit too thick for me though. My current knife is 4mm and I am finding that too thick.

I really like that!
Nice blade shape, thumb ramp to make pushing up on cuts a little easier, nice handle material too mate!
Not too sure about the thickness of the blade though, what's the balance like?

 

[Forest fella]

very nice it's got the emerson look about it.

Three knives thick but other than that, I totally agree.

That is some nice work!

6mm wasn't my choice, but as i got the steel for nothing i thought i'd go ahead and see how they turned out. I'm very surprised at how well this knife performs, i've done some slicing and a bit of whittling and i find it just as good as my thinner knives for most tasks so far. The other 6mm knife i'm making has a full convex grind so i will soon find out how they compare at performing various tasks.

The balance turned out great, right over the forefinger. The tang was drilled out to lighten it up a good bit.

Here it is before the handle was fitted.

The thumb-ramp looks too far forward, but it is positioned where my thumb naturally falls upon the spine.

its very good. Kind of bit of old and new.

And I bet it feels good.

Nice looker - Nothing wrong with a bit of girth!!!

 

[stevesteve]

Mrs Stevesteve thinks it looks great: the micarta, the filework the whole thing. It really struch a chord with her.

I like the look of the thumb ramp. My most recent knife has a rise in the buffalo horn bolster which was commented on... but it just fits my hand. If you made it for yourself and you like it then it's perfect. 6mm is pretty beefy but hey, it's not going to break!

Cheers,
Steve

I really like your workmanship, that's a great knife!

It should baton very well too.

Awesome blade, not so keen on the handle though but good workmanship.
