Here is a B.U.S.H. Knife recently completed (Bushcraft Utility Survival Hollow/Handle). This one had a 4.5" blade of 440C stainless, although I will be moving this model to CPM154 in the future, just to keep it consistent with the rest of my line, along with the occasional carbon steel model, as plenty of folks still want carbon for bushcrafting.

These have an 1/8" to 5/32" thick blade hollow ground on a larger wheel for cutting aggression and are ground to slice. The sculpted guard removes any hotspots and makes the knife very comfortable to use and index in the hand. There is a compass in the buttcap for emergency navigation. The Wilson Gray GunKote is an exclusive custom color that hides wear well and adds further corrosion resistance. The kydex sheath is a pattern selected by the client, and he had a matching PSK knife made and GunKoted to match the primary knife. A very nice set, in my opinion, and one that is ready to work in the outdoors.

I always thought toothy edge was more of an utility tasks thing like cutting plastic straps and tape etc (though I never found any advantage against super sharp edge) and shaving sharp edge great for outdoors tasks like whittling and feather stick making. Just wondering.
 
A.L. A.L. My experience with these stainless steels has been that they do very well with a toothy edge, similar to a 220 grit finish. They perform very well and have better edge retention for "outdoors" and work tasks, such as cutting cordage, wood and other materials. The finer edges do push cut some things better, but don't seem to have the longevity, in my tests.

Thank you.:cool:
The brass helps to keep the price point right, and would be a nice contrast without the gunkote. But the corrosion resistance it adds and the fact that it helps me resist the urge to hand sand the blades keeps me coming back to it.🤣

Hey Sam, Sam Wilson Sam Wilson

I liked that knife so much I was thinking about it last night. I was wondering if anything could be done to “un-round” the handle, and I actually came up with an idea that I kinda like…

What if you did a second cord wrap in this style over the first one??

It’s the same wrap that I used for my boot knife, but with a major difference in that the crossovers all happen on the same side. This creates an egg-shaped handle cross-section (as shown in the third pic), which I think might be nice for tactile edge orientation. Feel free to try it out if you like. :)
