Thread: Various Knives

A Professional Hunter with Spalted Hackberry over curve backed buffalo horn on the 1075 blade in a initialled closed to sheath with attached honing steel.

An interesting project finished and ready to go. I had a request for a short slasher with the specs to be a 300mm blade and 450mm handle so I drew up a plan that was aproved and went from there. 6mm 1075 for the blade and a hickory axe handle as the starting place with it being shortened and reshaped for the handle. Made the securing rings from the side out of a 50x25 box section. It was to have a blade cover so it could be carried in a hunting pack for those times when the pig hunter has to get in amongst the tight places the pigs can get to. Weight at 1.25 kg with the blade cover in place so shouldnt be a burden to carry.

Seeing as I will be doing all the cooking for some time to come I decided that I needed a new chef set and having a re designed pattern I wanted to try decided this would be what I would use for the set. All our knives have been one at a time to test design etc so with different furntiure and patterns, there is nothing matching about them. I had been saving a very nice piece of tight grained broken fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood so matched it with some bronze and black G10 for the NitroV SS blades. With the 8 inch chef, 6 inch petty chef and the 4 inch paring knife, this set will cover all the bases.
