Just a few photos of some knives I had Lisa West from Wolf Creek Forge custom make for me.
http://www.wolfcreekforge.com/
I liked these. Kinda bushcrafty.
They're made out of 1095 from Aldo and must be 1/4 stock. Heck the smaller knife almost has an axe head look to it.
Larger striker knife.
Smaller.
I started multiple fires with them. They both spark well and the shape really offers a very nice safe grasp during striking at some expense of the numbers of grips available for knife use. As my primary use for these are strikers that's good in my book. I haven't used the knife function enough to say how the edge will hold up etc. I really beat the heck out of my knives so thankful for the thicker stock. That was an unexpected and welcome surprise. I was told the spine was left hard for sparks and the blade tempered so it won't chip.
Just for fun I made this neck lanyard out of jute for the knives. I will probably use paracord in the field but might also carry the DIY one as it would make for some nice tinder in a pinch. I only spent 25 minutes on it.
Notice the bushcrafty 3 strand braid.
The high tech breakaway system.
The ground breaking loop attachment system.
Oh snap....
The complete package.
