Title: camp knife for the Ohio hammer-in
Post by: Scott Roush on August 25, 2010, 01:17:00 PM

I wanted to make something to take to the Midwest hammer-in and knife show so I made this... another camp knife from clay quenched 1084. It is 12" over all with african blackwood handle. It's a 1/4" at the spine with a lot of distal taper. It's a chopper.  I peened a huge wrought iron rivet from some old farm equipment through the handle.  Man do I like working with the tropical hardwoods! I forgot how much easier they were to finish...

Thanks a lot everybody.... A lot of things came together for me on this one. I hope it cuts....  I'm sure hoping to chop something in Ohio...

Too bad I will miss you Karl, but I know where you will be and I'm jealous...
