Tusk/Warncliffe

[Nathan Sturgess]

Hi, I am just getting into making my own knives and was wondering if anybody has either a Bark RIver TUSK or a Gene Ingram Warncliffe as I am thinking about making a knife like this for my first DIY knife and was wondering if anybody could tell me the dimensions of either of these knives. It is going to have a yew handle, mosaic pins and 01 steel. I can't decide whether to put a convex, Flat or Flat with secondary on it either. Any advice would be welcomed. Cheers in advance.

Scandy!

I agree with British Red. While I don't have a problem with the convex or flat grind (with secondary), I would pick the scandi grind if I had a choice.

Thanks for the replies, keep em coming thanks for the dimensions of the TUSK michiel. I was thinking scandi but I forgot to put in my first post, I have narrowed it down to either flat or very fine scandi now. Cheers.
