I ordered a blade from him extended plunge. 3mm. Unfortunately he made it 4mm. I PM'd him and said could I send it back and get a 3mm. He said keep it and he'd make me another in 3mm.:thumbup: Nice guy
Anyway I have that Baby Bushy from him in 3mm and a 3" blade I really like. So since I had this one I figured I'd go ahead and put a handle on it.
This is sort of the Bravo 1 of bushcrafts, in that it's a really big robust knife. However the long scandi grind bevel makes it a good slicer and it's almost surgically sharp.
Here's some pics. I still don't have the handle completely finished and polished but here's what I got so far.
The handle is really big so I can't make it as round as I normally do on the smaller blades.
This is the part where your fingers curve around. On this handle this part is where I did the most contouring.
Here's the top contour. I mostly left this fairly flat
Here's a shot trying to show off the wood. The light isn't right but maybe you can see the wood grain is fairly pretty
In hand shot
