Ventulus bushcraft knives completed

[Storm3dknives]

Hi guys!

I'm pretty new here, so please don't shoot me when I'm posting my latest work in the wrong thread. My name is Mark Storm, a Dutch knifemaker btw.

Here are 2 bushcraft knives, called the Ventulus model. Its made from 1/8 inch 01 toolsteel, with an acid stonewashed surface. I hardened it to 58/59hrc and tested it on my Wilson Rockwell tester.

The scales are spalted birch (home dried and stabilized) and the other is a hybrid with maple and purple epoxy resin (also homemade)
The liners on both of these are ebony.

I'm currently working on the sheaths.

Interested to hear your thoughts, so let me know.

Cheers Mark Storm

Cheers Mark

I'm a fan of contrasting wood for a liner! These look great.

Are your edges zero-ground Scani?

Thanks! I do a full zero scandi and some stropping for a tiny tiny convex.
