Small Camp Knife

[Burchtree]

First knife of the year! Well, actually just finished it up today. She is 3/16 1095 and 9 3/4 OAL. The blade is 5 inches from the tip to the green canvas micarta handle. The top is unsharpened. Let me know what you all think! Thanks for looking.

I think it looks great.

 

[Mr.BadExample]

That is a nice, beefy little blade!

 

[Jason Cutter]

Yup - really stout beefy looking thing for a short knife. Man, that is a very green handle !

Out of curiosity, what hardness did you HT the blade to ? Jason.

 

[Burchtree]

She RCs at about 60, according to charts and such. I don't have a hardness tester, so I rely on information I've gathered and testing the blades myself.

Here's a poor pic of it in hand that I took this morning, don't mind the grease smears.

Hey, nice knife! Even nicer cut on your thumb though.

 

[Burchtree]

Which cut? They never told me that uncoordinated folks shouldn't be knifemakers.
