New edc - the "Bobber"
« on: July 14, 2012, 01:48:00 AM »
This a new design I just finished up. I am calling it the Bobber because of the sheeps foot design reminded me of a bobbed fender on old custom Harley's. The Oal is 6 7/8", with a 3 1/8" blade of L6 tool steel. The handle is black micarta with stealth carbon fiber pins per the customers request.
This is a very comfy design and If I ever get a chance, it will probably be what I make for my new edc.
Let me know you think!

Very cool!  I've been contemplating one very similar to that for a friend...this might just get me going on it.  Very good work, Ben!

Saw the title and wondered if there was a reference to the HD Bobber. Looks like that blade will get the job done!

really nice . love the handle . I would have slightly rounded the top angle of the blade for a smoother line just to have the lines flow .... nice round lines for the handle . the an angle at the blade seems out of place foe me. Love the  simplicity and style as always. great work.

great knife for me it would have to have jimping for heavy cutting. i really like that profile .  i am hard on edc knifes they are made to use and not be pretty in my opinion and i use mine 15 or 20 times a day at my work.

Thanks JD, I need to get a checkering file for doing jimping. It looks so much cleaner than freehand. One more tool I guess!
