Introducing Terrasaur by off the map custom knives

[Joezilla]

well, the cat is out of the bag.

I'm kinda proud about how this one came out. I contacted Brian Andrews about some possible design ideas and here is one fruit of that labor. I'm becoming a designing fool. This encompasses many aspects of a few knives that I use often.

It has a slight drop point, like the enzo, and can be either a flat grind or Scandi. The protruding pommel is optional. And for all you fancy pants out there, he works with most woods including stabilized birch! I want to try one of those out and see how it goes! I was thinking a stabilized birch without the pommel would be the cat's meow.

That's a fine looking knife, buddy! Do I get a free one for being the first compliment?

I saw this one while browsing Brian's site yesterday, and I was really impressed. It looks like a perfect bushcraft knife. I'm particularly fond of the extra material on the handle (as compared to his bushcrafter).

Nice design, Joe, and terrific work Brian.

All the best,

[hollowdweller]

[SpookyPistolero]

That thing is rad, Joe!!!! Love the lines and the handle. Can't wait to get one in my hands... and I will get one!

Nice. The blade is reminiscant of the Skookum which I really like:thumbup:

Thought you'd like that one!

 

[pitdog]

I like it buddy, nothing too radical but why change a proven design !!!!

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Lookin' good! :thumbup:

 

[Joezilla]

I like it buddy, nothing too radical but why change a proven design !!!!

You got it, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Interesting note, My skookum bush tool doesn't have a spear point on it, I thought they were straight do other people have a slight drop on theirs? I like drop points and wanted to see that incorporated well onto this lil guy.

 

[Fletcher Knives]

That's great. Who's Voe? J/K Cool lookin knife brotha!

 

[LMT66]

This is sweet! I see two of my favorite well known blades incorporated into one.

Looks nice. I like the less agressive contouring on the handle which sometimes is trouble for me, although Brian's knives do feel pretty good. I like the fact that you retained the continuous belly feature that was unique on his bushcrafter. I like the slightly wider blade that fits my aesthetic. I also like the subtle drop point.

Of course that last bushcrafter of his sold in a total of 7 minutes on the maker's for sale area last night. What are you hoping to do with this one - get down to a 5 minute sale?

 

[MRpink]

looks good, i like the simple design.

 

[ChapmanPreferred]

Nice.

 

[John G]

Congrats on the design!

 

[Brian Andrews]

I honestly have to say that I have not been this excited about a knife, since making my first one. And that was for a different reason.

I am SO in love with this thing!!!

Cool design. Let us know how it works once you get one, if you haven't already.

 

[Random04]

Very nice, looks real usable. Might have to add this one to the list.

 

[fujita yuji]

This is a cool knife with clean lines.
Slight drop point and moderate contour are particularly attractive.

 

[TStetz]

Nice job, both of you. Great, practical looking blade, and excellent execution from the looks of things. I like both stamps too. Very classy. Good work!
