Custom Breeden- my new bushcraft knife

[Sharp Eye]

I had heard great things about Bryan Breeden and his knives. I want to tell you that they are all true.

I had some ideas about what I wanted in a knife for bushcraft. In a series of sketches and discussions Bryan made my ideas into a great knife.

Steel 0-1
Blade length 5 inches
Blade thickness 5/32 inch
Handle Brown Micarta with brass pins
I asked Bryan to include a small integrated guard into the handle

In Bryan's sheath attached to my Maxpediton SaberCat.

It feel truly sweeeet in my hand. Bryan makes the most comfortable handles!

I am terrible at making fuzz sticks but this knife makes me look good.

After batoning the knife through a few pieces of wood, it took only a quick stropping to bring it back to hair popping sharp.

If you get a chance to try out one of Bryan's knives, don't pass it up. They are great.
I will have no concerns having this as my primary knife on any trip into the woods.

Nice stuff. Not all of us are into guards, but it is interesting how this guard was minimized by not incorporating the slabs onto it. Bryan is remarkable in his flexibility to accommodate custom designs and to bring them into reality over such a quick time frame!

As an owner of 4 Breeden's myself, I can certainly attest to his work and demeanor!

that's really attractive and useful looking!

I love the look of the handle. I'm a sucker for comfy, round, plumb handles.

Nice job!

I admire the fact that you took your own design and had a master make it for you - I am in the same stage myself, four more weeks to go.

Thanks for showing it off. That's a nice one.

Hi all,Sharp Eye thanks for showing off that beauty. LOL That handle, like you said just plain felt awesome when I handled it. I am so glad you think so too.:thumbup: The blade shape that you wanted was slick. Just a good alround shape for the woods and the kitchen chores . From making up that Fuzzstick :thumbup: to spreading on the mayo for a sandwich LOL
Since you mentioned liking the handle so much, ROCKETBOMB from here on the forums came to the shop yesterday and spent the day here making up another knife for him. ( He had a Peace Maker made ) Rocketbomb's handle felt like the one on your knife it just forms to the hand.
Thank you all for the kind words that were said about the knife I made for Sharp Eye. Sharp Eye had a neat idea design for his knife. Way to go man.
