50 cent kitchen knife is now a bushcraft knife

Post by TripleF »

Picked this knife at an estate sale last Friday for $.50.

Filed off a couple inches and wah-lah!! I loved the feel of the handle and had to convert!
Overall length is now 7 3/4"

Hey Scott that's pretty neat. Is there a maker's stamp on it anywhere?
