Bushcraft variant - in the works

[Daniel Koster]

Had some 5/32" O1 kickin' around...too small of a piece to do anything else with it...so I made this bushcraft out of it.

But at 5/32"...it was a bit thick to scandi...so it has a full flat grind instead.

Here it is after heat-treat, cleaned up and about ready to glue-up.

Well, whatcha think?

Looks good. I like it, and look forward to seein finished pics. Nice job Dan!

 

[Fiddleback]

Sweet. I like it! Wanna sell it as a blank?

 

[Daniel Koster]

Sure...why not.

I can't etch my logo on it if sold as a blank - that ok with you?

Dan

 

[KBT]

Are you going to make more than one? I might like a blank too.

very cool. Should be wicked sharp!

I would like to see one where the edge of the blade comes all the way out to the end of the little "guard":thumbup: You know like a fatter blade?

 

[Daniel Koster]

Not sure if I can. Let me see if I can find a pic somewhere.:thumbup:

I think he means a wider blade where the edge meets the tip of the guard
