My personal Camp Knife
I designed this knife myself. I found out after I drew up the design that it is similar to what is most often referred to as a Pre-Bowie. A knifesmith friend of mine made the knife for me out of an old sawmill blade. It takes a keen edge and holds it through all manner of use. It will do everything from kitchen duty to chop down and delimb a good sized sapling. It has a 9" blade that is heavy and perfectly balanced with antler slabs on a full tang with a brass bolster. Take a look at some pics(this is my knifesmith friends photobucket page)
It excells a baton splitting wood, chopping both vegetables for the pot and the wood to cook them with in the fire. I have thrown it once at a tomahawk target and it worked perfectly sinking into the wood a marvelous 4 inches; but I won't risk the scales like that again except in an emergency.
Contact me if you're possible interested in getting one(I can get a deal from the knife maker that you can't.)

Yep, too pretty to use for sure. Nice work and I am partial to the stag, just too cheap to use for my attempts at knifemaking.

Actually A friend made this for me from my design. The antler slabs were from a shed hunting. I'm having one made with a paracord wrapped handle, maybe over tire rubber slabs. I used the knife in the pics on my August to December adventure and it worked a treat. I made my shelter frame from green saplings that had just shed their leaves and cut and delimbed them all with this knife. I skinned and cut a whitetail doe into serving size pieces in under half an hour. It did everything I asked of it and held it's edge very well. Worth every penny and less expensive than you might believe.

Oops...
Sorry HR, you're thread was moved to the wrong forum by mistake. :eek: I put it back under "Making Stuff" where it belongs.:cool:

Wow that's a great looking knife. I like the distressed finish at the top that adds a good manly look to off-set the more elegant handle. I really like it. There's picture on this forum of a knife I made. You could see them if you typed in "Forging a knife" into the search tab at the top. My pictures are on that thread if you're interested. Again I really admire the knife, your friend is a great blade smith.
