Outdoors neck knife

[HSC ///]

Finished a carter neck knife pattern. About 8". Laminated Hitachi white steel clad with stainless
I like making this knife and find Carter neck knives very practical and a useful design,
some quick pics from while I'm on my real job break

Build sequence. Clay slip and water quench

Nicely tapered tang, snakewood?

Nicely tapered tang, snakewood?

Yes sir. Snakewood from Suriname.
IMO A tapered tang is a must on a handmade custom knife. To me straight tangs just look blocky and production but that's just me

This one forged out really nicely tapered both ways

Normally and in the past I have used liners but I decided to keep this one simple
