Hello
Italian designer and gifted knifemaker Giacomo Cecchi from Saladini Cutlery in La Scaperia (The Italian Sheffield) just gave me the opportunity to test his own conception of a Bushcraft Knife.
[/IMG]
The steel, who is shining like stainless, is in fact 1070 partially tempered at 58HRC on the edge.
The edge is not scandi but thin on a saber lightly hollow ground blade.
Blade Length: 140mm for a 5mm thickness !!!!
The balance is perfect at the beginning of the handle. So the knife is really "alive".
The handle in Bambu got no hotspot and got little ergonomy enhancement for the humb to rest on the side.
It looks beautiful but also feels indestructible.
It reminds a little the grind and feel of a Fallkniven with carbon steel blade and a very sensual handle.
Now the sheath is pure beauty made for vertical carry and I will come back on it later.
Now, I will test it in the woods and check its brutal strenght and versatility.
cheers
