Some Very Early Work!

[JK Knives]

I was digging through some boxes way back on the ledge in the basement and came across these. I made these back in the early 1970`s after I started work. I would spend my lunch time grinding on the bench grinders. They were both made out of power hacksaw blades.

This little one looks almost like a scandi grind.

This is a "survival model." Those saw teeth really work. Note the high tech electrician tape handle.

In the matching sheath.

Hi Stomper -

Cool! Thanks for taking pics of those.

Interesting idea, the sawtooth spine - with an actual SAW! That would be very handy...

best regards -

I'll take 1 survival model with matching sheath. That must be cool to still have some of your early work.

Awesome sheath! I have a couple of Busse's and all my tiny JK knives set up the same way!
