Up for sale is my Core Camper pattern
This pattern I called the camper however it could be used for so much more than just a camp knife. It has comfortable, contoured handles for periods of long use and a balance point just behind the ricasso at the front finger grove. For those who prefer a larger knife, bushcraft, wild game prep, food prep around the camp, this one should be able to handle the load. It has a convex sabre grind with a micro bevel and it very sharp. The scales are stabilized Redwood Burl with nothing on else them. They're hand sanded to 1200 and buffed lightly with some black compound. There is something primitive about the look.
I always take the scales as far forward as possible and try and eliminate dead space at the ricasso. I bring them up very close to the grind and I'm in love with the feel. It allows the user to choke up over the blade at the plunge for added leverage on those difficult notch cuts. I'm really pleased with the feel.
I want to apologize for the photos. I don't own a great camera and use natural lighting for all my knives. Today its raining and it doesn't look like it's going to let up. I took these photos under a covered area and it's not doing the knife or the wood justice.
