** SOLD ** The 'Bushmaster' - Wenge with Hamon

[Paul Baleta]

Hi Folks
A new Bushmaster fresh off the workbench...
The 'Bushmaster', a sturdy outdoor companion incorporating aspects of a bushcraft knife; robust construction, a comfortable handle with a full, tapered tang, 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. Here is the latest iteration of an older BALETA Handmade design with a few tweaks to bring it up to date and make it an even better Bushcraft tool.

This version is crafted in 26C3 carbon steel with a beautiful Hamon. The blade has been differentially hardened. Below the Hamon line (the cutting edge) is about 62 HRC while above it is a few points softer - together with the scandi grind, this blade will be tough enough for any Bushcraft task. It has oiled Wenge scales, fibre liners, a Loveless bolt up front, lanyard tube at the rear and comes in a custom fitted leather sheath with a dangler.
