First three are the straight spined "leuku pattern" bushcrafters. I think we've decided to call them the wilderness model 1 at this point since I make so many of them. Bottom one is the model 2.
#1SOLD is 1/8 inch L6 with a convex grind. My convex grinds have a bit of variation where I make the angle slightly more obtuse as you approach the handle for power cuts. Forge finish. Scales are ipe with blued steel pins and bluing on the exposed parts of the tang. Turns out really pretty that way. Light filework on the spine. This one has a slightly narrower profile than some. Sweet handling blade.
OAL 10 inches, 5.75 inch blade.
Expedition sheath, fully adjustable carry (see the photos for a rear image of one of the sheaths)
#2 ON HOLDis 3/32 15N20, differentially tempered with the same blued tang. Cleaned forge finish. Ironwood scales in a nice satin finish with linseed oil. Brass pins and lanyard tube. full belly on the blade. Any of these will do good service as a skinning knife, but this one is particularly well suited.
OAL 9.5 inches with a 5.25 inch blade. Convex grind.
Expedition sheath.
#3 SOLD , sheath will be lighter brown to work with the flame marked osage orange scales. Handle is a bit longer on this one and has a nice smooth curve to it. Osage "orange camo" with peened and blued brass pins. Bluing on exposed parts of tang, as well. I will file work the spine on this one on request. 1/8 inch L6. Forge finish.
OAL 9.75 with a 4.75 inch blade. Convex grind.
#4 Is the wilderness model 2. This model makes a really excellent camp/kitchen and hunting knife. I've sold these especially to hikers and hunters for camp use and processing larger game. The dropped edge on the blade makes for a nice safe and secure hold when cleaning game. 3/32 15N20 with a convex edge. Peened steel pins blued along with the exposed parts of the tang. Maple scales with a tung oil finish, will hold up fine to working.
OAL 10.5 with a 6 inch blade. slightly rounded clip for zipping.
Simple deep pouch sheath finished with a linseed oil dip soak.
#1 SOLD, #2 $140 (ironwood is expensive), #3 SOLD , #4 $120 - all prices include USPS priority shipping and I'll cover paypal fees.
Paypal or postal money orders preferred.
There's a scandi grind model 1 with tan canvas micarta and forward & rear lanyard sleeves that I'm cleaning up the scandi edge on that I can take inquiries on as well.
