Title: New camp knife
Post by: tomh on October 29, 2009, 12:50:00 AM

I am finally able time wise to start making the big knives I always have wanted to.

Here is a camp knife I finished recently.

 (http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee95/tomh73/10-26-09001.jpg)

Made from 5160, 9.5" blade, 14.5 OAL, walnut handles and nickel pin tubes.

Now I just have to make a sheath for it, and this one is staying with me!

Very nice, looks like a good heavy duty knife.  Don't blame you for keeping it.
