I sent this design to John a while back, and he profiled it out and then sent it to me to drill the holes in the handle - then I sent it back to the Mokena Foundry and Machine Works for the final grind and heat treat (K-Treet).

It is 01 tool steel, full flat grind, slight parabolic curve for better cutting leverage, and holes in the handle to provide a balance at the ricasso.

Came out nice despite my lack of abilities - although I would do a better job on the holes on the next one.....

Good looking little knife. Whole lotta utility tied up in that small package.

Nice. How thick is it?

That little one is interesting too. Looks well used/loved.

Thanks - it is 1/8" thick.

That little one is the infamous Scanduckie! John made that at a Gathering way back when he asked each attendee to design a tin-knife and he made them for us at the gathering. Being the twisted soul I am, I came up with this little scandi-grind with thumb notches and a small duck-like blade. Hence, Scanduckie!

that has a very familiar silhouette -- what's the OAL?

It's a smidge over 6" overall.

good size to drop in a pocket.

Looks like it would make a great little skinner! Nice knife

I keep thinking that knife would look good with thin micarta handles.

What's the black handle knife?

Hi John -

That is the Kershaw / Hinderer Cinder - the blade shape is very reminiscent of the Scanduckie -

I like it! Is it still available?

 

[mqqn]

Yes - they are production knives and typcially sell for under $10 - great little knife.
