Snowshoe Hare:
grind: flandi
blade length: 2 3/4″
overall length: 6 3/4″
steel: 1/8″ 80CrV2 @ 61 Hc
handle: Vintage butterscotch paper bolster, Ancient bog oak handle. White G10 liner and divider over black G10.
handle thickness: 3.5-4/5
hardware: copper pins and tube
Sheath not included. Sheath options available.
Note, this knife fits very deep in the JRE sheath. If you chose to add a JRE, I suggest adding a lanyard to assist with draw.
The reason I called this one dog oak: my dog pulled a bog oak scale off my desk in my office and took it outside to chew it. When I found it outside, I figured it was trash. However, I was able to salvage enough of the scale to make this handle. Here's the guilty pooch:
I began making PL knives in 2016. I've done leather work for over 20. I added kydex to my repertoire in the last few years. The heat treat on all of my carbon steel knives is done by me in a thermostatically controlled Evenheat knifemaking kiln. Each 80CrV2 blade goes through a 3 stage normalization before being heated to austenitic temperature and quenched in Parks 50 oil. Then it goes through a 2 stage tempering process. 80CrV2 Hardness is approx. 61 hc and my heat treat process produces a blade with extreme toughness and fine edge sharpenability. Scales are glued with West Systems G-flex epoxy. My aim is to produce heirloom quality tools with excellent craftsmanship that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and service.
