This is a new design for a general purpose camping, hiking or bushcraft knife. The sturdy 1/8" thick blade features a drop point and hollow grind. Flat or convex grinds available by custom order. The handles are attached with stainless steel Corby bolts which clamp the handle scales to the tang for superior strength and durability. The stainless steel butt cap provides balance and a sturdy flat surface for pounding.
This is a new design inspired by a custom knife ordered by one of my customers. I think it will be a very popular knife and may well be one of my few regularly produced models.

I made this one from the super durable CPM (Crucible Particle Metal) D2 tool steel. Note: This is NOT stainless steel. With 11.5% chromium, it is often referred to as near-stainless (stainless requires at least 13% chromium), but with 1.55% carbon it is an extremely hard steel.
The THICK natural sheep horn handle is well suited to larger hands.
