i recently baught a kindda "old style" camp knife, hand made (not my hands
).
I post it cause i am quite happy with it.
I put it closed to a john Greco Bowie, in order to give you an idea of it size.
the specs
"Hand forged med. drop point camp knife, med. brown curly maple, 4 brass pins
Blade size about-7 1/4" (18.4 cm)
handle size about-4 3/4" (12 cm)
width-1 7/16" (3.7 cm)
thickness-3/16" (0.5 cm)
1075 high carbon steel (oil tempered)
58-59 HRC"
I test it few second outside, it works quite well
so basicaly, for it price, i am more than pleased with it.
After batoning a bit with it, it shows some marks but remains sharp, so i think the temper is well done.
May-be i will order another one (smaller). Onlt problem is that it comes without shealth, i'll have to find a solution if i want to go in the wood with it.
