The new "bush" knife

[m. wohlwend]

Nothing wrong with skinny, scandi ground blades. This series of blades will be for those of us who like a flat ground taller blade.

I love that bottom one! It looks like a good all around woods knife. Whats the length on thatt one

5 inch blade. It's a test knife. 52100 steel!

Thats nice. I like the slight drop of the handle towards the blade. Could this be a test blade for the challenge?hmmmm!

I will sell them I sold a knife that I had made for myself and kept in the shop for over two years... so I guess I can't hang on to what I make!

I am really torn on which one to submit. I think I will be ready to post up photos by monday of the completed knives....

 

[KFU]

Good deal. If you want me to test them for you first just let me know

+3 - I'm seriously grooving on that bottom blade, and 5" is a perfect length for bush/camp craft to me. (I like blades in the 4.5-6" range with larger/longer than currently typical handles)

 

[KFU]

Looks like you made a winner Mark! You will have to post the finished knife so you can start taking orders!

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Mmm, those look like some good handle curves. I may be in for one of those styles down the road!

 

[m. wohlwend]

Thanks Guys! I will get a couple more made. But first I have to finish up Don's project and a 5160 booshway....

Mark,
If you can post any "in progress" pics of the 5160 booshway that would be great
Thanks

Any L6 Booshways coming soon?

Any L6 Booshways coming soon?

Yes, I have 3 L6 Booshways in the works, a 5160 Booshaway, and 4 knives for Don that I need to grind. I had a new shipment of Blaze Norton belts today on the porch, so time to get busy!

I also have a math test and spanish test this week :thumbdn::grumpy:

this schoolwork is sure gettting in the way of my knife building and bike riding!
