Hi Folks
I haven't posted any new knives for a few months because I've moved to the UK with my family and it's taken a while for me to get my workshop setup again and trying to get the backlog of orders down.
But... here is a lovely little Bushmaster Lite:
The 'Bushmaster', a sturdy outdoor companion incorporating the important aspects of a bushcraft knife; robust construction, a comfortable handle, full, tapered tang for strength and balance, 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. The latest iteration of this awesome Bushcraft tool.
This blade is hand forged from 52100 carbon steel - a super tough steel that's great for Bushcrafting. It has gorgeous Turkish Walnut handle scales, a mosaic pin up front, lanyard tube at the back and comes in a custom fitted leather sheath that has been hand stitched, with toolwork and a dangler.
- Blade thickness: 3.4mm (0.13")
- Blade length: 100mm (3.9")
- Overall length: 214mm (8.4")
- Handle material: Oiled Turkish Walnut with vulcanized fibre liners.
- Fittings: Brass pins, mosaic pin and lanyard tube.
- Weight without sheath: 166g (5.8oz)
- Weight with sheath: 270g (9.5oz)
- Full, tapered tang with sharp 90 degree spine. Comes with a custom fitted sheath and dangler as seen.
390 GBP
Also in my webshop with a few more pics and a video: The 'Bushmaster' Lite - Forged with Walnut
Thanks for looking!
