Hello everyone
Like most knifemakers I make knives that are tools and can be use as such, but often given its cost, materials and finish most of them see little to no action.
So like many others I decided to start my utility line.
This is the first one I do.
Steel is good old 5160, differential hardened, 6 mm thickness in the spine.
Full tang with a few holes to make it lighter.
Ironwood scales, screwed to the tang to make a very tough handle, bolts hiden by pieces of quebracho wood (the hardest wood in argentina)
Rounded spine, and integral "guard" rounded too for a very confortable grip.
Its all machine finish to keep costs down to a minimum.
Blade has a 400 grit finish
And wood and handle has a A65 trizact finish.
I am very happy with the result.
Hope you like it too
(This one will be available in the sale section)
