Misery Whip & Buffalo Hunter/Camp Knife

[Alan Davis Knives]

The overall length is 9 3/8", the blade is 5" cutting edge and is flat ground from an antique misery whip saw blade. I differentially heat treated the blade with the edge at Rc. 59-60. The scales are water buffalo with dark red G10 spacers, 3/16" mosaic pins and lanyard hole. Comes with a right hand leather sheath made by me. $135.00 + $8.00 shipping and insurance in the US. Paypal or money order. Thanks for looking, Alan.

Just curious but... wtf is a misery whip? Is that a technical term or a model name?

Misery whip is a nickname for old crosscut saws used for logging back before chainsaws.

Thanks for the info. What are the steel properties though? Any comparison to more common steels e.g. O1? Very nice knife indeed!!

The steel used in these saws is most likely L-6. It responds to the L-6 heat treat formula dead on.

Beautiful work. I can see why that saw would be called a misery whip.
