Bamboo Utility knife

[R APPLEBY]

Picked a piece of saw steel off the floor and made a quick pencil drawing on it. Tweaked it until it was something I liked. a Bamboo sculpted utility knife with a bamboo leaf shaped blade. The art work on the sheath was inspired by a combination of chinese and Japanese ink and brush art.

Blade; 3 3/8ths inch flat ground saw steel with a forced patina.
Handle; Carved jade G10 with white liners on a tapered tang
OAL; 7 3/8ths inches
Sheath; Tooled, 8/9oz Wickett and Craig leather pouch.

Thanks for looking

You come up with some really cool designs, I have two from your 'other' bamboo series.

I really like your bamboo-style knives a lot. This one is very cool. I think green linen micarta would look great in this style. Maybe with red liners for Dawkind .
