Well, I had a customer want a knife based around the WSK design. Here is my take on the knife....not perfect but will be just a more simple take on the knife.
No Saw Teeth so you will be able to use the back of the spine and the handle with 2 hands if needed. No hook to get in the way of chopping, Full height flat grind so its not such a steep wedge that limits the cutting depth.

Anyway....thats my take on the design and the customer wanted to incorporate the butt of the Camp Digger design I make. All in all I like it so far.
Its larger than the Becks WSK I think....I'll have to pull mine out and compare. Its ground from just a hair shy of 1/4" thick 0-1 and will have a big ol' temperline hammon on it :)

Thanks for looking

I don't know about WSK, but it looks awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product!
 
That just gets me all excited :) when I see a knife like that :thumbup:


Mr. Goode you added another beauty to an already extremely good year here on BF

I'd like to see the finished results, love the blade and the handle shape looks sweet ;)
 
I'm also working on this one - 2 Trailsman, a Companion, and a Stinger pattern....but I'll get to it:D Glad to see some enthusiasm;)

That's coming a long nicely! It is a very interesting play on the WSK deign. I like it alot and even more when you put some scales on it:D.
 
not exactly sure...havent remeasured again but its a 7" cutting edge and about 13 1/2" overall I think. I had to rebuy 2 1/2" wide stock for the next one I am making.:thumbup:
