This one has the same wood as the previous two bushcrafts. This particular one is of ATS-34. Thanks for looking (I know seeing all these bushcrafts can be boring but I really like making them and every customer seems to want a little tweak here and there).

That one seems to be more sharply pointed or is it just the photo ?
 
That looks great Roger
I really like the wood. Have you thought about rounding the front of the scales off ? I was just sitting here thinking that all the knives I've seen you post lately have a square/straight front on the scales. I think it would look pretty cool if you tried curving them on one. Maybe leaving the corners about where they are but bringing the middle out pretty close to the plunge? Just a thought, I like it quite a bit as is :)
 
Roger, I said it before, and I will say it again...........That Maple is hard to beat..........

That is a nice package..............You have been turning them out lately...........Just the other day, I saw number 38, and here is number 41 already.

Each one gets better and better..........Keep up the good work my man.

Thanks guys.

Mete, I believe all the spear point bushcrafts I have so far made are about as pointed as this one looks. The tip might be more pronounced in this picture because the camera was more directed toward the tip. EDIT: although I believe some of my spear point drops have been more abrupt than this one.

Matt, yes I know and agree with what you say. The thing is I no longer make knives as I did before. Now they are made by order only. I do and have made scales as you describe but so far I do not believe I have done that on a bushcraft.

Myakka,

Of course Ron. Its your baby and I am very happy you had me begin making them. I can't wait until that someone somewhere wants it in damascus and ivory.

Roger,

damascus and ivory? :eek: Why did you have to go and say that ! :mad:

Now I must have a Damascus and Ivory Bushcraft, I guess I will have to start saving my money again. :D
