Got my Knatchet that John (JK Knives) made today and lets say I'm really impressed !
John's fit and finish just seems to get better with every knife he makes.
When John first posted pics of it many people mentioned the Tom Brown Tracker knife as if I was trying to make an improved version of that. This was not the case at all, I was just trying to come up with a tool that I could use for camping and woods bummin that would be able to do more or less any tasks I required from it.
However as people were mentioning the Tracker I thought I'd post a couple of pics comparing the two as a size guide......
The Tracker is 1/4" stock, the Knatchet 3/16".....
The front section has a rounded spine so that it does not destroy battons if you need to batton with it......
I am really impressed with the grind that John has put on this one, I told him that I wanted it convexed without a secondary bevel, check this out....
Made the customary fuzz stick and it worked real well, can't wait to give it some more testing soon !
