Jeff Baker “Woodcrafter” Knife, Firesteel & Sheath

[Kevin Jones]

Here’s one I picked up recently from Jeff Baker from AZ, my second piece purchased from him.

It’s a beauty. This one has a really nice set of stabilized Aboyna Burl scales, with natural and brown Micarta spacers to accentuate the scales without making them detract from the wood. The blade is hand rubbed on the flats and hand honed to 8000 grit on a Japanese water stone before stropping. Jeff’s blade finish is amazing on this knife. The sheath is tooled and hand stitched 10oz leather with conventional and dangler loops. The fire steel has a 5/16" rod and has a stabilized figured maple handle with a brass lanyard tube and matching leather lanyard.

Knife Specifications:

Handle - Stabilized Aboyna Burl scales, with mosaic pins, natural and brown micarta spacers

Blade - 1095 blade (59RC), hand rubbed on flats, hand honed on 8k grit water stone on Scandi ground edge.

Thats a nice handy knife which appears to be designed well. I like the profile of the handle and how it goes into the blade.
