My "Wood Drake" - Photos

[RyanW]

I received an order from a customer for one of my "Wood Drake" knives. This is one of my favorite designs, and gets a lot of use by me when I am back packing. I am a fan of the Nessmuk style for this type of outdoor use utility knife.

Specs:
Steel: 1/8" Aldo 1095 (W/Hamon)
OAL: 9"
Blade: 4" (Tip to Choil)
Handle: Cocobolo & Red Liners
Misc: Tapered Tang, Mosaic Pin, Thumb Jimping
Sheath: RH Leather

Would love to hear what you think!

Thats a really nice knife, makes me think a bit like a nessie, a bit like a canadian belt knife, my 2 favorite knives

Thanks Buddy! she definitely has curves. Very comfortable in the hand.

Thanks rm... The customer asked for red spacers, I went with the subdued red as to not distract from the Cocobolo. Colors matched up nicely.
