Greetings everyone.
I have a pointy little thing freshly made to show
Its total length is 25.5 cm or 10 inches. The blade is 13 cm or 5 inches long, 5.5 cm or 2 inches wide and 5 mm or 0.2 inch thick. Forged of 5160 with full tang.
The handle is made of apple tree and forged iron.

That apple tree gave its life for a good cause. Lovely.

Re: apple hunter
Nice knife Csizmar. I was told in wood shop in High School that hand saws handles were made of apple wood. The teacher said it did not split and was good for saws and such things. True or not??

Re: apple hunter
Well, it is a beautiful wood, that's for sure. The grain is awesome most of the time.
But, I have to contradict your teacher on the split part. In my experience it likes to split and splinter a lot. I would never use it at a stick tang knife and neither for a saw handle.
Full tang is ok, since the steel carries the load anyway.
But maybe you have different apple species around there. Wow knows?!

Re: apple hunter
Thanks Csizmar, I don't think our apple wood is any different. I thought looking at your knife, that the grain of it wood without support could easily split. It looked like long straight grain to me.
Thanks

Re: apple hunter
You're welcome
Yes, the grain is pretty straight, that is not the problem. I believe the issue stands in the thing that most fructifers aren't as dense as non fructifers like beech or black locust. But I could be right, I am no expert
