"Old Slabsides" Bushcraft in Desert Ironwood Burl and O-1

[TK Steingass]

Greetings:

Here is another one of my bushcraft knives, a little different than traditional, but with design and beauty enhancements to set it apart from the everyday bushcrafter. The blade is scandinavian ground with a small secondary bevel to prevent chipping during hard use. For those of you that prefer a heavier knife, the dovetailed bolsters adds quite a bit of weight to this knife. I hope you like it.

Best regards,

TK

Wow TK, you make such an amazingly 'clean' knife ! They are 'all function' but your designs come together with perfect flow and unity. This combination of workmanship and artistry really make them stand out.
I have over 100 custom Fixed Blades so i really 'must not' buy another, otherwise i would already have bought one of yours.
Are the edges of the wood scales radiused ?

Hey Roland:

Thanks for the kind words from a fellow knife officiando. To answer your question, the edges are slightly chamfered, rather than radiused. This knife falls to the hand from top to bottom rather than side to side......I'd call this a light duty camp knife rather than a "chopper"

By the way, I've been working on four Loveless Dropped Hunters in CPM S-30V --- I'm going through ceramic belts like s... through a goose!! I'll never grind that stuff again. Anyway, I haven't forgotten and bought some nice looking DI with you in mind.

Best,

TK
