Had this one ground nearly a year ago and finally got around to finishing it up. I envisioned this one to be a mid-sized featherweight camp knife that will slice and dice for kitchen duty and still be robust enough to do some light chopping and finer woodcraft type work.

This BT6 Camp Knife is made out of 3/16 CPM3V with a full flat grind and distal taper from plunge to tip. It is also sports a tapered tang and maroon linen micarta handles. Convexed edge, OAL=11 3/4, Blade=6, Weight=8.8oz

Let me know what you guys think.

The camp and recurve are really nice. Big working handle
for multi positions. Keep going !
 
To my eyes that design and the nice craftsmanship made one beautiful knife.

Many would be proud to have one of those on there belt :thumbup:
 
Beautiful! Let me say this knife feels absolutely great in the hand, perfect balance.

(This is where this thread is. You said you'll be posting pictures of it from the last meet, but I had no idea where it was going to be, so I kept checking "custom & handmade knives".)
 
Awesome work! That is one clean looking worker, and i love the maroon linen scales...

What's not to like! I am usually surprised if I pick up a knife from a South Carolina maker that doesn't have a full distal taper. I guess Ron Gaston and George Herron taught 'em right. That is a nice looking knife. :thumbup:
