Forged Camp Knife

Burt your sense in a little skewed :) .. Rough for you is pretty polished looking to me. I'd almost think you were going for a "Wabi-Sabi" effect but I suspect your "imperfect" is actually quite perfect in the grinds and overall finish. :D
 
I don't think Burt Foster can DO rough. That is one of the reasons that you are so awesome Burt.
IMO:D
 
Gorgeous knife Burt and nice picture !
Have fun with this one......and if you don't......you know what to do ;)
 
When do we get to see the fancy-schmancy sheath? (say that 5 times fast)

Another example of the outstanding knives we have come to expect from you.
The school is very fortunate to have you as an teacher.

I hope you give us a look at the sheath?
 
Yeah guys, here's the sheath. I usually prefer pouch sheaths with no retaining straps, but I'll be backpacking with this one and it probably won't be carried on my belt. If I go with the "I'm a middle-aged guy who's playing army in the woods so I'm gonna carry it upside down on my shoulder strap" then I can do that. The strap will easily fall out of the way when it's unsnapped, it it generally won't be in the way.

I also tooled it with stamps and tools I've made. (The little "seeder" tool at the intersection of the quilted lines is a store-bought tool.) I stole the quilted pattern from Paul Long, but Paul, being the gentleman he is didn't give me too much crap about it. :D:D

Thanks for lookin'

Very nice knife Burt, and that piece of ironwood is just amazing. I'm even more impressed with that beautiful sheath. Great work! :thumbup:
 
That's an all around great looking carry! I love the knife and the sheath is primo!
 
Great looking work as usual....reminds me of Daniel Winklers work....I need to get my butt back in my shop and make a new one myself....SeeYa
 
Great rig :thumbup: Love it :thumbup: Drool ;)

Is the knife stamped with 20MS09 on the right hand side of the blade, Burt?
