Fixed blades

[alongoria]

LT Wright "GNS". O1 steel, Scandinavian grind, micarta grip, JRE sheath.
I have other fixed blade belt knives. Would they work in almost all tasks? Yes. But, I wanted a knife oriented and maybe better suited for processing wood, carving, etc.
Best regards and God bless

This is a field/camp bowie I made for my 14 year old son for Christmas. Its a complete take-down frame handle bowie. Blade is forged from 1075. All the fittings, scales and frame are black g-10 with red turbo glow accents.


I even brought my leather working tools and skills (if you can call it that) to make the sheath system.




Here are are few more shots showing some of that handle detail.

How’s that thing chop? I was eyeballing that one but the shallow grind scared me off. It’s damn cool looking, I’ll give it that.

Haven’t had a chance to really chop with it yet. I was concerned about the grind as well but it is very sharp and bit in like crazy when i split a log with it.
I was also able to make some feathers with it so i am happy.
I will chop some stuff this weekend and report back.

I plan on hacking up a bunch of wood for BBQ this weekend with that Böker. I’ll trade you update for update.

Was out for a walk with Grim in the woods.
Had enough time for a nice cup of tea

Last weeks snow melted away and left a lot of water everywhere

Found a quiet spot and prepared some firewood with the Becker BK-16

Some nice feathersticks to get the fire going

Grim enjoyed a snack

Flint and steel to get the fire started with some charcloth and birchbark

Love that glowing of the charcloth

Let the fire grow

And put my mug on

Cut some gingerroot for tea

Wait a few minutes

And tea is ready
