Hey guys. I ordered a knife from Adam a bit ago. couldn't even tell you when. Adam sent me an email this over the weekend with some pics, but just saw it this morning. Nice surprise on a Monday morning.

I have one of his bushcrafters in scandi and was so impressed, i decided i wanted to try the same configuration in his "standard" grind. And wow, he nailed it. I don't mean to brag, but i'm just blown away. check it out....

Thanks Adam. this is just what i was hoping for. Beautiful. I can't wait to get 'er cuttin'!
 
Adam built me a custom Camp Knife a year or so ago and it is among one of my most prized knives...his work is impeccable. (pictures courtesy of Adam :) )

That's a pretty high grind, what is the blade thickness on that beauty & is that convexed or a micro-bevel?

his standard grind is a saber grind. I believe it is a flat grind with a secondary bevel. the steel is 1/8", and i think it is O1, if i remember correctly.

EDIT: checked myself, and looks like i got it right. check it out GooberBoober....

Thank you TPVT for the post! I hope you enjoy it and get some good use out of it! yes, it is 1/8" O1 and my standard grind is a flat saber grind with a small secondary.

I just got it in the mail this morning, so you should have it by Thursday.

thanks Adam. i have a feeling, this is going to be "the one". Looking forward to Thursday!
 
AWESOME!!! You are correct. His work is out of sight!!! I have a Woodsrunner and it is one of my prize knives. Love it.

Thanks for the details on the grind & blade thickness & link!

Do you baton with these knives too? If so I'm very curious if your latest one holds up better under hard use than the scandi version.

I use my Spydie Bushcraft for fire-prep a lot, but it chips & rolls rather easily if I'm not careful & I'm considering putting a slight convex on it so I don't have to fix it that often, even though I really like the scandi-grind.

I got a pair for back-packing myself, they're great to let the feet air-out in after a day of hiking.
