Here's a handy little knife
« on: November 25, 2011, 04:07:00 PM »
I just finished this small carry knife. The overall length is 6" and the cutting edge is 2-1/2". The blade is 5/8" at the widest point. It is a full tang knife that I tried to make look like a hidden tang. I think it will prove to be a very usable everyday knife. The scales are ironwood and the blade is stock removal 1085 steel. I made a belt sheath for it but it would probably piggyback well on a back quiver or even a large arm guard. Thanks for taking a look, Mike

Funny you should say that Ben. Yesterday evening I drew up  plans for a bird and trout knife for my cousin who loves to fish. The inspiration came from this knife only it is a little longer. I would have cut it out last night but at my house when the Christmas lights are on, I can't use too much power in my garage before the fuse blows! Less hassle to wait till the lights are out!
