New smaller WST

[Gossman Knives]

This is a scaled down version of the WST (wilderness survival tool) that I make. It has a 4 1/2" blade rather then the normal 6 1/4". It's 1 3/4" wide, 1/4" thick.

Now that is a knife that looks like it could go anywhere and do anything! Tough looking blade.

Thanks guys. Ironwood is such a spectacular wood. I've used alot of it and it never ceases to amaze me. The grain is outstanding.

Thanks again. I like this size for all around use. I made up one in 3/16" thickness with green/black micarta to try out.

Yes, the ironwood is his. You might have a harder time this time.

Scoot I really like this one. Both the big and small versions. You tried the smaller one on game. Been thinking of breaking down and getting a big knife from you maybee this is it.

I haven't had the opportunity to put it to use yet. It should work well on game, especially skinning.

I got to handle this on elast weekend and I must say, that ironwood handle Scott did was downright sexy it was sos curvaceous :thumbup:

They all look great Scott ! I notice that you have done away with the second finger hold on the new models, did ya find the first version was too agressive ?

 

[j williams]

Ive always loved that design from you.

Nice!!

Thanks again guys. pit it is still there just not as sharp a curve. Alittle easier on the hand.
