Full Tang Scandis?

[bearthedog]

Can you guys please list all the full tang scandis that you know of? Pictures would be even better. I can only think of the Skookum bush Tool.

Koster Bushcraft
Krein Bushcraft (He'll do flat or scandi)

 

[Esav Benyamin]

How about Dan Koster's bushcraft knife?

 

[Wabajack]

Charles May has one IIRC maybe more. Google him.

SWC Woodlore like this beauty I picked up last year.

01 Steel

Curly Maple handle

AWESOME finish right from the factory. Purchased as a kit and Loneridergrips put the handle on for me.

Two questions: what's SWC? And what cost more the knife or the book (I've heard its pretty tough to comeby Mears' books).

 

[c00per]

That books in Borders :thumbup:
I have some others that are pretty good, but they were from England.

By the way, the Koster Bushcraft is excellent.

The wood handled Mora's have a full tang. At least some of the Helle's do too Maybe most of them. They are not wide tangs but they do go clear through the handle. Go to Ragweed Forge and clock on Blades and Books to look over their blades. Chack out Kellem Knives as well.

SBT, Woodlore and the Koster were the ones I knew about. Not too many. I am still happy with the Mora 2000. Just wanted to know if there were many other options. Thanks all.

Frosts Lapplander series are all full-tang. Great knives too. Can't post pick now as I'm not at home.

Ragnar has some full tang scandi grind blade blanks as well

Here's a couple by SWC Steve Cox I did the handling:

Here's the above knife as a blade, with the other SWC Mears type in Osage

Sort of a semi convex Scandi PSK by Scott Gossman

3" bladed "Baby Bushy" by Shing who posts here some but is over at British Blades a lot

[hollowdweller]

Looks really great Mike!:thumbup:

I'm really surprised no US company or even scandinavian company is making any full tang scandis. The time is right market wise.

I guess I never give a thought to the size of the tang on a knife. If I were planning on using one as a choipper,(which I don't) then I may opt for a full tang. However in all my years of cutting and using knives, I have never seen a sign of weakness in this area. Not with my many Mora's or any other knife. To me its more like white wall or black wall tires. It makes no real difference in a cutting tool.

Kochanski thinks you should be able to use your bushcraft knife as a step on the side of a tree (tip pounded in and stand on the handle). I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to try that with a Mora.

 

[RescueRiley]

Korchanski knows alot more than I ever will but I would never try it with any knife
