Some new knives from the ratnest

Post by muskrat man »

Here are a few of my latest completions. A little bit of variety never hurt no one :)

A couple Baby Bushcraft models, one flatground the other has a mod. scandi grind.

The Osage Puukkos with hollow pins has been kinda popular.

Made this on the spur of the moment from a scrap peice of steel I had, think I might make a neck sheath for it and give it to a buddy of mine. The handles are primitive bone, basically just weathered deer shin bone, it has been stabalized with superglue, all the fissures give it character, I think.

Working on a couple more puukkos for orders and making a prototype for a small tactical tomahawk that will have a matching 7"ish bladed bare bones dagger/spearpoint design knife. Ideally these will ride is a kydex shoulder harness, one on each side, but that rig won't be reality for a long time I feel. The tomahawk however is looking promising and it's knife counterpart is already done, I have made a 5" bladed model but I think the blade needs to be at least 7" to be useful.

thanks guys. All of those are spoken for except for the bone drop point. I got a buddy here in Ohio that does good kydex work, does it more as a hobby but it sure works good and looks good to boot.

Very nice Kaleb!

Kydex is real easy to work with, no special tools are needed for the basic friction sheath.
