Bushcraft variant - in the works

[Fiddleback]

Thats purpleheart. A good possibility for a bushcraft knife. Hard as all hell.

I'm quite fond of my Osage/Rosewood combo.

Osage and what. I've used a ton of Osage laminations lately!

I like the flat grind...very interesting. Andy, make sure you post some pics when you get it done!

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

Just wondering, does "full flat" means "FULL flat" "Full-flat-secondary-grind-with-a-bevel"?

Rosewood is one of my favorites, and nice and cheap too...

Yes.


Only a scandi grind is a true zero edge.



On certain knives I do a full flat grind down to almost nothing (0.005") - the K5 Kardas, for example.

But all others are ground to 0.010"-0.020" thick at the edge - thickness depending on knife size and application.

Have you crafted a handle for this knife for us to see? Cheers, dczippo

That's a pretty rad blade, looks like a slicer. I'd second HD's idea about dropping the edge line. Some beefy handles and I'd be all over one.

 

[Fiddleback]

No. Maybe I'll work on that this weekend.

Did you get to work on this one last weekend? I'm anxious to see how it comes out!

Thank you.
