When your current knife budget is near zero, it's nice when that special someone remembers that you have certain needs and surprises you with something sharp. Check out this pretty little knife from my pretty little wife.

This is the Bushbaby from Blind Horse Knives. It's about 6 1/2" overall, with about a 3" cutting edge. The scales are in their trademark fiddleback maple and the blade steel is 4140 saw blade steel about 1/8" thick. The blade came with a dark coating, but I gave both the steel and scales an 800 grit hand sanding. The result was an antiqued finish on the blade and a satin feel to the scales that I really like.

The knife came with a nice quality sheath including a D-ring attatchment and ferro rod loop. I'll be using a tine from this found shed to make a companion firesteel for this knife. The family photo shows the Bushbaby with the Bushcrafter and Patch Knife. Makes a nice set don't you think? ;)

Very nice collection! I like the looks of the handle material. Your a very lucky man to have a wife like that! Wanna trade??? haha
 
Very nice. Let us know how it does in hand. Just in time for the long weekend,too. Sweet.

OKG--you say that like a guy who's pretty sure your wife won't read it.LOL
 
Nice looking knife! I am interested in the fact they use 4140 for blade steel....how does it perform? I use that steel lots at work and never thought to use it for a blade steel.

I would love to see it in action.

Congrats
 
I saw one of those at pwyp. Just as hot and cute as a prom queen! Love it!
