A Grizzly and two Black Bears!
The Black Bear Camp Knife!!!! Made from 1/4in 5160 with black G10 scales. The scales are attached with epoxy and flared stainless steel tube fasteners. Overall it is 9 15/16in long. The blade is 5 1/6in tip to handle. It weighs in at 12oz. Stout but very easy in the hand or carried on your belt. The sheath is black Boltaron with a reversible belt loop. The blade has a cold blued finish. The choil has a ferro rod scraper built in and the spine has some thumb friendly file work added. My price on this blade is $325 ***sold***shipped in the US.
Here’s another Black Bear. It’s a compact powerhouse! It’s constructed from 1/4in 5160 with black G10 scales. Weight is 13oz. The blade is 5in tip to handle and 9 7/8in overall. IMHO it’s very easy on the belt while still being large enough for chores. The full flat grind makes it a great cutter too
I added my tree bark texture to the scales so it will stay in your hand without being abrasive. The spine has some file work for a little flair and a useful place for the thumb. The choil is ground on a 3/4in wheel and left “sharp” at the edges for scraping a ferro rod. My price for this knife is $325 ***sold***shipped in the USA.
