** SOLD ** The 'Bushmaster' - Wenge

[Paul Baleta]

Hi Folks

Here is the first of few knives I finished up between Christmas and New Year.

The 'Bushmaster', 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. This version has oiled Wenge scales, brass pins and is in N690 stainless steel. A reliable companion that is built for many years of bushcraft and camping.

very nice Paul. ever consider making this model with a 90mm blade and same handle length?

Thanks guys.
Bmurray : I do make a slimmer lightweight version, the 'Bushmaster Lite' that has a 97mm blade with a similar handle (below).
It would be no problem to do the Bushmaster with a shorter blade - let me know if interested.
