Hello dear brothers,
From the same series of steel beasts with God's good will, here we go with two blades for the bushcraft brothers out there
The objective was to make a knife that can cut through steel bolts with zero edge damage and that can withstand cutting through a high strength compacted concrete construction block without damage beyond the micro bevel, without severe chipping or cracking and with the knife still being usable.
So here we go with the 'pocket beast's second big brother, the 'bush beast' the thirdd 'specimen' of this series with a blade made out of Wolfram Special high carbon steel, hardened to app 64 HRC, with a true scandi zero grind that is indeed scary sharp. The handle is made using snake skin black G10 and 'beast dots' in blue 10k yo stabilized mammoth molar and genuine mammoth ivory while the fittings are solid brass Corby rivets for maximum strength. These are real beasts ready to withstand any bushcraft task without a drop of sweat
They come with a thick kydex pocket sheath.
Please do excuse the vid exposure/quality but i haven't seen that the focus is too high and it was also a real challenge to macro shot the bevel (never knew how this is done right) but it can be clearly seen that after the bolt cutting the edge had absolutely zero damage and that after the concrete block cut it only had minor chipping way below the second bevel line (i was able to get it back to razor sharp in 3 minutes on a work sharp system.
The blade is app 3.7" with an overall of app 8".
The price for any of these bush beasts is only 135 usd/piece OR 200 usd/both.
All the best, God bless,
Bogdan
