Just finished up this knife yesterday morning. Will be my new moose hunting blade. 1/8" D2. 10" OAL with 4.75" blade.

Maybe That's a nice one Jer, does it have a name on it?

Thank you.

Wanted something like a nessmuk, smaller than my brisa and stainless for food prep. I bought this Buck just to try it and play with modifications. I ground down the handguard, gave the handle parts a less shiny finish and made a trad pouch style leather sheath. I will do a slight resharpening to try different bevel. Let's see how this works.

This one was a gift to my son from a new friend. Nice, simple, solid, and definitely a perfect EDC pocket carry design.

My Dad's old Schrade Sheath Knife. Very, very basic.

And was just totally his style, post war.

What is the tang stamp on that 'Schrade'?

That is a fantastic knife. That it is an heirloom makes it super special. Thanks for sharing.

Did you change your mind about the Grohmann boat knife for the purpose?

No, this was just something I wanted to try. The boat knife is home, razor sharp and good.

Sorry for the late reply. I don't think it's war time vintage. Probably purchased in the 60's or 70's. But I could be way off. I just know it made its way on many fishing trips in the 70's and maybe early 80's. This is the stamp...

It's interesting to try side by side the Brisa nessmuk, this Buck and the Grohhman boat knife. I made a dinner of liver, potatoes and some zucchini spiced with lemon, thyme, garlic and pepper. Cutting the liver and zucchini I used these knives all in turn. The Buck, now that I have re-sharpened it, cuts meat effortlessly, but slicing the zucchini I noticed how the shoulder of the hollow grind drags in the material when cutting deep. The boat knife has a bit of the same problem because of the saber grind, as does the Brisa nessmuk, they wedge in materials. Cutting meat is about the same, allhough the Buck hast the slight edge here. So really there is no substitute for full flat grind in food prep. The ergonomics however in the boat knife are much better than in the Buck, followed closely by Brisa.

- many thanks, Duncan It's my first Bowie from a UK maker - lovely fella called Bones - sadly I don't think he's making any longer.

I'm awaiting some details, but believe the blade is likely 5100 bearing steel.

Just received, so a few more pics...
