A few new knives have been completed!
This one was made from a file. The handle is curl leaf mahogany, a scrub tree that grows in the Salmon River canyon where I grew up. It is an evergreen hardwood, fine closed grain.
This is a large, slim knife. At 10 inches overall, it is convex-ground from 3/32″-thick CPM S35VN steel. The handle scales are yellow G-10.
This is a regular 6-inch-Full-Tang with guard, in S30V. The handle is my first experiment with Ultrex G-10 and Rubber laminate. If you’re looking for a shock-absorbing handle, this might be the ticket.
This pair of blades is experimental. We’re going to take them out and work them, and see what we can learn. While they look quite identical, the blade thickness is significantly different.
The thicker one is about 5 ounces heavier. Both are 1095. The thicker one is a tad harder, and is more of a hatchet, while the thinner one is more like a machete.
The thin one is in a left-hand sheath, and the thick one is in a right-hand sheath.
