New blade for the bear hunt
Got tired of using the old folder and broke down and made myself up a nice fixed blade.
100% hand worked 440c ss blade , pinned and filled , half hard brass , veg tanned leather.
sharper than sharp!!! wheel sharpened.

Hey Mark, nice job on the knife. Appently you are multi-skilled!
Just a thought, you should take your bow, for back-up

I had some of the gals at work believing i was hunting only with the knife but a couple of them caught me grinning.

Dad started making knives abot 25 yrs ago. I got into it about 15 yrs ago, we started out blanking blades on dies. When the shop i work @ got lasers i went nuts, got into autocad and began designing blades. Then went and bought a burrking hollowgrinder. We have knives all over the world now.
I did take a break from knife making to build my shop, just about the time i got it done our first little papoose came along so i have been away from it for awhile. I started making the crossbow stocks, now its into both at the same time
next papoose is due in february , maybe a boy this time

Very very nice knife.
How long is the blade?
I found that the best and most practical knives for gutting and skinning game (deer, bear and moose) have a 3" blade and soft rubber handle.
The short blade makes the knife easier to handle and control. The rubber handle makes the knife almost slip proof when you're hands get bloodied.

Guest,
The blade on this knife is 6" long 1.25" wide and is .188" ( 3/16 ) thick, 440c stainless and has a hollw taper grind approx .50" wide. overall length is just under 10.50" long.
The handle is elk antler approx 1.5" dia. I prefer elk, deer, or stag handles due to the irregular grooves and curvature of the antler, these tend to give a very stable grip.
I use a phenolic spacer in black, white , and red between the brass and antler, i have some quilted maple ive been contemplating on using, ( sectional splice ) . could turn out to be interesting.
