bushcraft WIP

[Wolfy Cleveland]

brand new knife idea I just came up with, it looks super nice right now!

cant wait to see it completed. It will be made from a old wood file, its 9 inches long with 4.5 blade and 4.5 handle. the handle scales will be black micarta canvas.

Interesting, I just started on a bushcraft knife myself. Styled very much off of the Ray Mears knife. I am using 3/16 X 1 1/2 O1 steel and my dimensions are 4 5/8" blade with a 4 3/4" handle. I will be putting a scandi grind on it. My scales will be Maple burl.
It will be interesting to see to different takes on a bushcraft knife.

blade is cut out now, the edge needs to be more refined and I can start to temper it soon

Looking good so far.

just finished making the edges strait, after I drill handle holes should I just start to heat treat it?

Give it some more belly
tape some cardboard or so to the handle and play around with it.
Does it feel good?
Now is the chance to change it.
