I don't know. I didn't really use that tact in my teaching. I basically spoke about how easy Scandi's are to do, and how they are in demand. Then I showed how to do one.

This is a model that really excites me. Just my style. Little cutters.
The knife is called the Hikingbuddy. Its 7.5" OAL, and has a 3.125" long blade. I did two in this batch out of 1/8" thick 01 steel (which I spalted, of course). One of them is convex with a thicker handle of curly quartersawn Red Oak with micarta bolsters, and one is Scandi and has a thinner Ironwood handle with black liner, pins a bullseye filler.
Next to the Bushfinger for scale:
Might need to adjust the diameter a bit for her but I think you are right. They sure do look good together and she is my only real hiking buddy (that breaths anyway) And being a first knife...probably need to go micarta on it too. I don't need her knife being prettier than mine
In all seriousness though being the first knife of a six year old I am afraid it will get dropped more than once over time.
