15n20 Bushcrafter
« on: February 05, 2013, 08:42:00 AM »
One I just finished up.  15n20 steel, 8" OAL with a 4" blade.  This one has canvas micarta scales with green liners.  Any criticisms or critiques are greatly appreciated.

Looks good.  That's about the perfect size for most jobs you use a knife for IMO.  I'm guessing the pins are copper from the picture?  If you have a picture that shows the green liners, I'd like to see them.  I'm not sure I've seen that color liner on a knife before.  Sounds like it would look good with the brown micarta.

Thanks guys!  Matt, my camera died before I was able to get a pic of the liners.  I'll see if I can get one this evening now that it' charged.

Very nice, a knife that sees you home from a hunt and looks good doing it.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
