Koyote Knives - Modified Leuku Bushcrafter - Initial Impressions.

[mneedham]

I like the belly to tip geometry alot, that wide profile leuku is rockin. I've had my Koyote Leuku for probably close to 6 months now and use it for everything from food prep in the kitchen to battoning to skinning rabbits and whistlepigs. I have yet to sharpen the edge, that 15N20's retention and Koyote's heat treat/edge profile are outstanding. She's still shaving sharp!

I beat my Koyote Bushbeater on an oak log for a while at about 75% of full force and it still shaves....... It's a blade that I have a lot of confidence in.

I had a Koyote knife briefly. I was a beautiful little knife sharp as hell super nice sheath. It was too small for my chubby paw, my fault not Koyote's. It sure was nice tho.

dont even think about touching my koyote!!! i can cut steak so thin you can see through it.

only thing that killed it was me accidentally scraping the edge against my mora...damn beer thinking...

I do that pin spacing style about... oh, two thirds of the time. It's a nice and solid setup, and with any sort of contoured profile I think it looks better than trying to exactly center and space 3 pins equidistant.

I see. You sort of confirmed my suspicions with regard to moving the second pin closer to the blade to create a more solid setup. I would assume that the position of those two pins is exactly where a lot of torque gets applied to the handle during tough cutting tasks.

I must say, the rugged simplicity of your knives is very appealing. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Mz9393,

That is a new design. Some seriously studdly person designed it and limp wristed Andy made it for me.


Okay - I am kidding. I designed a knife called the 'Arete' It is in Andy's line up now. Check out his forum for more details.

I like your design. It looks comfortable, practical and aesthetically pleasing, like the Koyote knife.
