Clay quenched camp knife, sculpted feather walnut
Here's a camp knife I just finished. I was inspired on the handle by Claudio Cas. This was my first time attempting carving like this and I have to say, for me it was kind of a PITA. It took me a lot of time. Glad to be done with it.
1080+ steel, clay quenched 11 1/2" overall, 6 1/2" blade .225" at the ricasso tapers to 3/32" at the butt end of the handle False edge Tapered tang Missouri Black walnut scales with lots of feather pattern Brass bolts __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

Another amazing knife.
Please forgive my newbie question. What's the purpose of the depression in the butt of the knife? |

Looks like it was worth the effort to me. That's a nice looking piece!

Thanks guys.
Grant- no purpose to the detail on the butt end. Just purely for looks. Something to be different I guess. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
