Camp knife

Post by gmusic »

This one came out of the shop today. Hollow ground S35V SS, canvas micarta scales, tapered tang, oal of 9.75", blade is 5". I put the handle on it before I tested it for hardness (got a little ahead of myself). I'm guessing by the material used and the other blades that were fired at he same time it's around 62-63 hrc. I'm calling it a camp knife but it would be a great "survival" blade if it were made from tougher tool steel.

Nice looking blade Gary. ::tu::
It flows with clean lines without being simplistic if you know what I mean.
There is enough going on in the lines to keep my eye interested, but not so much that my eye is overwhelmed.

Looks like a nice solid tool with a good utilitarian design. ::tu::
