I watch a lot of YouTube videos on bushcraft among them a favorite channel produced by seanmulhall “the Silver Fox”. Sean carries a rather large custom knife he has designed and uses it in the same manner the Tom Brown Tracker is designed. That is for all types of camp chores, as a hatchet a draw knife and so much more. In keeping with this this idea I wanted to create a heavy bladed and very tough knife that was not too awful long making it easier to carry and that would make a great survival bushcraft tool. The steel chosen for this task is one quarter inch thick 1095 and forged into shape. I've also left hammer marks and forging scales in the blade to give this knife a unique and rich character. The blade is differentially heat treated (although I did not etch the blade to bring out a temper line) to produce a nice hardedge so it’ll do lot of cutting between sharpening while having a soft spine for great toughness. The sheath is heavy brown tooled leather.
Specs:
1/4 inch thick 1095 high carbon steel differentially heat treated.
Overall Length about 12.375 inches
Blade Length is 6.75 inches long from tip to wood and 2 inches at the widest point.
Handle is curly Koa wood scales bolted to the knifes full tang.
Sheath is 8/9 ounce tooled brown leather (shown).
I take PayPay (my account is kelley_ward2@agilent.com), major credit cards over the phone (707-479-2530), money orders and checks.
