I really like the handles I do. But every once in a while I just get a hair up my butt to make something "normal".

And this is a super shiny "normal" woodcraft knife.

Real photos when the sheath is done.

OAL 8 inches, blade 3/75

15N20, 3/32 spine, convex grind. Hand rubbed 600 grit finish and purty blue dymondwood scales with stainless lanyard pins.
 
koyote, Have you ever considered putting a steel buttcap on one of your bushcrafters?
 
looks like a good job on the "normal" style...

i do like your other handles though too.
 
Ooooooooh...... shiney!..... you're riding the edge, bro...... pushing the envelope.... he he he.
 
i've done a coule buttcaps in o1 on through tang knives. Thought about forging some on the full tang knives, too. I'm not sure about the idea of pinning to a full tang knife for hammer work, though.
 
You don't need a hammer at the butt, but a nutcracker would be nice, just a little metal to tap with.

That handle IS sweet. Theoretically, a slick blade surface might even cut better, although I like your basic style.
 
Yea koyote that looks cool and just to let you know that knife trading that we did, that Lueko is on my ATV 24/7 as of now right next to my shoulder pack( survival kit ) that I carry with me always when out in the timber.

Take care,

Bryan
 
Bryan- I've been doing some light trail maintenance with a small chopper and a rotating set of knives, your PSKK works really well in the brambles, too :D
 
koyote that sounds cool, I have cut up a few thistles and some small locust and ceder trees to. I love that 5" inch blade. Just when I think I we have cut every tree that needs cutting, Kathy and I have put up our chainsaws and clippers and just getting ready to leave there it is one little tree that we ( I mean that kathy has missed ) LOL
Oh I tell her about it to LOL I just reach for the knife you made me and no more little tree that kathy missed LOL It is just to much fun to cut stuff you know what I mean.:D Some times I will use my Pathfinder too. Just depends.

Chat with you later,
Bryan
 
great job christof, even through its not your norm, its pretty cool. even the picture is different than most of your other ones, its not stabbed into a wooden plank.
 
As soon as Sierra finishes the sheath, I'll be taking the real photos. I may go with the 12,000 year old bison vertebrae for the photo instead of throwing it into the picnic table bench, even so.
