His and Her Backpacking Knives

[Brian Andrews]

I haven't really posted here before, but figured I would.

A while ago, I made a backpacking knife for a female friend. I posted about it over in WS&S and you can read about it here, if you are interested.

Here is that knife:

So, then my wife wanted one. But, of course, it had to be pink.

Well, the handle (as designed for a woman's hand) felt fine to me in a normal grip, but was a tad too small in the reverse grip.

So, I decided to make the "male" version of the same knife, as I liked it so well. Here is that one.

A little more size to the handle.

Size comparison.

Dang Brian, the mans version came out excellent too. I really like that pattern a lot.
