Well, thats a thing I never understood... why is it so difficult to make a scandy bushcraft folder?
Use a decent steel like in a fixed blade, make a contured handle from a highly resistant material like in a fixed blade, no pocket clip like in a ...., use a strong lock... which there are plenty examples out there... and then you just need to be a genius like Dan, and thats it already...
No honestly! Great Idea Dan!
there are scandis from Enzo (Scandi but handle will give you pain like crazy), spyderco (so filigrane you wood never want to use it), benchmade landslide(No real scandi and not the best steel and handle) and there is a custom from bernie garland thats has a recurve blade im not fond of... thats it!
My suggestion if I could give my humble opinion: Blade a little pointier, Palm swell a little more towards the blade, and some kind of coke bottle shape which is the most comfy handle shape in the world!
You seem to have some Eureka moments recently and you are really make wishes come true for us with your Midtech idea and your scandy folder!
I wanna point out that the Whittling friendly, one hand opening option is absolutely genius!
I can see one in dark curly maple or aged osage orange, green micarta with orange liners... or,....or,.....!
Whats the price point you are aming for... just so I know if I´m able to be in or not!
Please let me know Dan!
Hows the Mid Tech project going? Any pix of prototype yet!
Cheers and thank you for your innovative ideas, we all have been waiting for!
Cheers, Max
