One For Pitdog!

[JK Knives]

Pitdog sent me a design for a Hatchet / Knife he wanted me to make for him. It`s 3/16" thick, and 11 1/2" overall.

Here is the drawing he sent. He decided against the extended tang, and decided on 6" handles.

Here is the finished "Knatchet."

In chopping grip.

Choking up on the handle for finer work.

Initials and serial number.

If you don`t like it, it was pitdog`s idea, , if you do, it was mine.

That came out slick:thumbup:

That knife has just given me bad thoughts.

I am mentally picturing Pitdog running around the woods naked with that thing. I don't know what bought that on.

On a more serious note, how is the balance on that knife.

Looks even better in person than in the preliminary drawing! I thought it looked pretty decent on paper, but it looks AWESOME in the flesh! Great work, both of you! :thumbup:

What does it weigh? How wide is it at its widest?

Don`t be giving him ideas!

Pitdog will love that. He is into those hybrid knife/axe thingys. Honestly, I think his design looks better than Tom Brown's. Nice work. :thumbup:

3" at the widest point, weight I don`t know.

I think that would look neat with a tiger stripe patina.

 

[Calebklyne]

looks like a nice little tool and would probably be great for backpacking

That is going to make a great neck knife Small enough for fine work and still big enough to baton.
That really did come out looking great. That handle looks perfect for the variety of task the blade could handle.

 

[mneedham]

That looks great! What is the steel? I'm looking forward to a review/action shots. We might have to pay royalties to Pit and get some more of those made!

Normally I'm not a big fan of the full tang hatchet type stuff, but that one looks like quite a functional (and handsome) camp tool. Certainly good for gathering and prepping some kindling or firewood, prepping game, etc.
