made another EDC

[Myal]

I gave the last one to my Sis-inlaw
last night / yesterday I got the urge to make another , I kinda missed the little one I gave away .

so this is the little beastie I came up with .

I tested the edge holding ability by slicing up some tin can then making curlies on a lump of wood , kind of mock up of opening a can of beans to heat then carving some shreds for tinder to make a fire go ... assuming one was being amateurish in a survival situation

the handle is she-oak ( from the firewood pile ) the blade steel is just another hunk of all hard high speed steel power hack saw blade .

Im happy the knife is comfy in the hand and has pretty good edge retention

actually , Im hooked on this steel ...

You could make those every day and find people happy to accept them

Very cool :thumbup:
Nice and thin, looks like a great EDC.

 

[Myal]

I have been toying with the idea of making them to sell .
maybe oneday Ill be a real knife maker

for now , I just mess around in the back yard with an angle grinder .

if I ever found a belt grinder in my area in my price range tho ... hell yeah

Myal, that looks amazingly like a "Deweese Hunting Knife" like that designed by Dall Deweese and marketed by Marble's decades ago! It was a very useful hunting and camping knife. Looks like great minds think alike! You have a winner there, pard!

I googled one for a look

its pretty close .

It has to be that the marbles knife was designed by someone who had serious hands on hunting and mess round in the bush

At least , thats why I went for the shape I did anyway .

 

[Ron53]

You certainly got it "right" Myal!

Sears sells a 2 X 42 belt grinder, and you can get "real" belts from supergrit.com....

Nice knife !

I dont have Sears local that I know of , and shipping from the US can be a real killer at times .

Ill get on oneday tho , its a "gunnawunday" thing that is higher on my list of gunnas than most . I got a bit put aside for it even

 

[BarberFobic1992]

looks like a good slicer with that thin blade

 

[Myal]

It slices like a lazer , I was expecting it to be good , but this steel takes the kinda edge that gets really scary .

 

[Fiddleback]

Sweet! Reminds me of a trade knife. I love those.
