Lukas MG Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi guys,Just finished this little drop point utility knife, something to accompany me on hiking trips and the like. Blade length is 7.5cm, overall length 17.5cm. The swedge is mainly aesthetic, not sharpened. It does provide a very nice place to rest the thumb though. Steel is 80CrV2, heat treated to 60Rc, with (unknown) hardwood handle scales.This is a user through-and-through but a pretty one Now onto the sheath... perfect occupation for a Sunday afternoon where anything using (loud) power tools is impossible. 1 http://www.lukasmaestlegoer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas MG Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 No idea what is up with that yellow fond... http://www.lukasmaestlegoer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hewitt Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yeah, weird font indeed! I'm liking the look of the knife though, very pleasing blade shape, nice woodwork, great overall appearance. Should make a great user! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden CC Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Nice looking knife! What type of wood is the handle? I agree about the leather work, it's very relaxing without all the noise, dust, sweat, and potential injury. Every now and then it's nice to have some "flip-flip work" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Detrick Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Nothing quite so pleasing as a well made, well executed clean knife. 1 “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -Albert Camus http://www.krakenforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas MG Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) @Aiden: I don't actually know what wood it is. Someone else suggested in may be Osage. I don't know, all I know is that it is quite hard and pretty enough to make me want to put it on a knife. Nothing quite so pleasing as a well made, well executed clean knife. I agree. Well, maybe a well made, well executed clean sword but that's beside the point Edited September 11, 2016 by Lukas MG http://www.lukasmaestlegoer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Lester Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 That could be Osage and if it is the patina will get deeper. One test is when you sanded it was the wood yellowish and produce a fine dust that was also yellowish and seemed to go everywhere? If the answer to those questions is yes then I'd say that it's probably Osage. Nice looking knife in any event. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!!
