Title: Slim Buffalo Bushcrafter
Post by: robtattoo on April 29, 2008, 11:27:00 AM

Made this one yesterday from 1/8" 01 Carbon Steel...

OAL is 8-3/4" with a 4-1/2" blade
I've polished the blade to 600grit on the flats with a 400grit finish on the bevels.
This one's a pure Scandi grind with no secondary bevel & ground at 22 degrees. Like a razor!   :eek:  

The handle is an ultra-slim, coke bottle shape out of stunningly figured honey Buffalo horn, held with 2 mirror polished pins & a lanyard tube, all in brass.
