Chef Style Camp Knife

[raylaconico]

This is a custom order that I wanted to share. My customer's idea was for a "pointy chef camp knife" and this is what I came up with. I really like this knife. I love the way it feels. I think it was a great idea. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. The blade is 1/8" thick O1 steel, 4 1/2" long cutting edge. Thanks for looking..

Very functional design, and well executed! I'd be proud to carry and use that one.

Looks to be a very useful design .

Very nice. I love my chef's knife and from time to time I think about having a custom sheath made for it, but your idea is even better. It looks great and I think the whole concept is brilliant.

Boy that is nice, that would do well in the kitchen or the field :thumbup:

 

[SpearZ]

That's a very useful design for a blade and handle, looks good

 

[mmmotorcycle]

That looks very useable and abusable! I bet the new owner will enjoy that piece quite a bit. Keep it up!

Make it about 4" longer and you "might" have the original Bowie design or a close cousin.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Looks like it would darn well in the kitchen as well.

If you put that together with a nice hunter, you'd have a really nice set for hunting season. Looks great!

AWESOME!!!

A simple and functional, no-frills design and "blade is 1/8" thick O1 steel, 4 1/2" long cutting edge."? That's sure gonna be a favorite outdoors companion!

 

[blgoode]

thats a cool user for sure! Nice grip!!

I have often thought of building a sheath for a short Wusthof chef's knife. This design in a 3-1/2" to 4" will make me a customer...

Nice

Now how about a camp style chef knife?

 

[xaman]

That's a great looking design!

Thanks guys. I'm making a bigger one like 5-6" blade of 5160, 1/4" thick with distal taper. It should be real nice.

That might be my dream knife. It sounds as all-purpose as a knife is going to get.

I don't know if I'm using the correct terminology but a big problem of knives with guards (to me) is that the blade doesn't extend past the guard. That limits its usefullness in food prep and being a camp knife. A chefs knife takes care of that (the blade is the guard) but isn't that sturdy.

A 1/4 thick inch chefs knife? Perfect camp/all-purpose knife.

Proud to say its mine. Came up with the idea only and the final product exceeded my expectations. Cant wait to see it with the others!
