Hi Folks
Something new off the workbench...
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, with a Hamon. The Hamon line can be seen just coming out for the forge marks above the convex 'scandi' grind. These attributes give the blade fantastic cutting performance and strength/toughness. Great for Bushcrafting!
Stabilized Bog Oak handle scales that is 2000 to 5000 years old, a mosaic pin up front, lanyard tube at the back. This Bushcraft tool comes in a custom fitted leather sheath that has been hand stitched, with toolwork and a dangler.
- Blade thickness: 3.5mm (0.14")
- Blade length: 98mm (3.8")
- Overall length: 214mm (8.4")
- Handle material: Stabilized Bog Oak with vulcanized fibre liners.
- Fittings: Brass pins, mosaic pin and lanyard tube.
- Weight without sheath: 170g (6oz)
- Weight with sheath: 276g (9.8oz)
- Full, tapered tang with sharp 90 degree spine. Comes with a custom fitted sheath and dangler as seen.
SOLD GBP
Also in my webshop with a few more pics and a video: The 'Bushmaster' Lite - Forged with Bog Oak
Thanks for looking!
