Yeah and hair popping sharp!!! I don't know if any of you guys in the US are familiar with Alans work, he is one of our premier knifemakers over here, and here's a few more of his as you can see I am a big admirer of his work.
I picked up one of these in May 2009, it is my best knife and my most used knife. I am even considering getting another.
Off the Map Custom Knives Bushcrafter, cocobolo handles, black liner, 5/32" blade, scandi grind.
The grip is the best I've ever felt in my hand, the handle swells just feel perfect for my hand size and grip. To me, it's the perfect outdoor/camping knife. Now, it is what it is. If you want to cut large trees/branches it may not be your knife (although it can probably handle anything you throw at it), but for general camping/outdoors use it's my go to knife.
I cannot say enough about the construction of this knife. It was my first knife with a 5/32" blade, and the full tang, so it just feels strong and sturdy. Not to mention that it looks great too.
This is the new release but I had the previous edition and it serves as an excellent Bushcraft style knife once you thin the shop edge down a bit.
Not exactly a custom but very limited edition so far and customizable in every way from the shop. One strike on a fire steel and you are through the coating on the square spine.
