Osage camp knife

[srtben]

This is another camp chopper I just finished for the OKCA show in a week.
I used copper pins and tubing, I think it compliments the color of the wood nicely.      
Handle is toasted Osage
OAL is 11.5"
Blade is 6.5"

Thanks for looking!

Ha ha, Ive been switching back and forth between here and Dons all night and just commented about how much I like this blade over there minutes ago.

very nice - what steel is it?  what are you doing to get it to look so weathered?

Thanks, It is 15n20 steel with a mustard patina.

I like that chopper a lot, how do you do the mustard patina? Just spread it on or is there something special to it.

Just make sure the blade is very clean, then apply it in a pattern you like. I usually let it sit for at least 4hrs, then wash it off with warm water and soap.
