The Worker

[A. Brett Schaller]

Here's a new model I designed for people who open boxes and packages all day on the job, but who want something a little more useful than a box cutter. The blade is 2 1/2" and not quite a sheepsfoot - the edge actually has a little curve to it. I carried the prototype for about a week on the job, and found it useful for many tasks other than box opening.

Having worked in a grocery store when I was younger I would have simply loved to have a knife of that design. I also worked in a tannery and it would have been excellent to have there too. Nice, very nice.

Very nice, Brett. How long is the handle?

 

[Fiddleback]

Boxes will tremble in fear...

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Looks like a very well thought out design that appears to be very well made.

Thanks!

The handle is 4" long, plenty of room for all four fingers to wrap around. I thought about making it a three-fingered knife, but I decided I wanted the extra control of a full length handle.

Outstanding.

I love smaller FB's like that , the handle material looks good too , with a red spacer it would have that even more classic look to it , imo.

Nice knife. What steel did you use ?

It's my very last piece of ATS-34. I now use CPM154.
