Hi Folks
Here is the second 'Bushmaster' that is looking for a new home...

The 'Bushmaster', a sturdy outdoor companion incorporating the important aspects of a bushcraft knife; robust construction, a comfortable handle, full, tapered tang for strength and balance, a sharp spine for use with ferro rods, a spear point in line with the handle centre and a true convex scandi grind that has been hand finished. The latest iteration of this awesome Bushcraft tool.

This blade is hand forged from 26C3 carbon steel (also known as 'Spicy White')and features a beautiful Hamon where the blade has been differentially hardened. Below the Hamon line (the cutting edge) is about 63 HRC while above it is a lot softer to lend the blade toughness needed for Bushcrafting. It has gorgeous Macassar Ebony handle scales - a type of Ebony with lighter streaks in it. Fibre liners, a mosaic pin up front, lanyard tube at the back and comes in a custom fitted leather sheath that has been hand stitched, with toolwork and a dangler.
