They are having a little competition over on ramanon.com and I figured you guys might want to see how my entry came together. This guy is kind of the pocket cutlass's big brother.
(The following is a consolidation of several posts.)
I got her all glued up today, so it is all down hill from here.
I decided to go with African Blackwood for the handles as I like the way it looks with the etch on the blade. I think she is going to be a looker.
I just knocked her out and I think she is one of the coolest knives I have made! I think I am going to need one of these for myself.
Here she is!
This one shows the African Blackwood a little better. However, it is a lot better in person.
I took a couple more pictures and I thought I would use a larger size so you guys could see them a bit better.
Here is the first Camp Cutlass and it definitely won't be the last. It is made of 1095 high carbon steel and has been differentially hardened using clay. The handles are African Blackwood with a brass tube and corby bolt. It is 9 1/4'' in overall length and the blade is about 5'' in length.
