Scandi-Bushcraft Style
This modern adaptation of an old word classic, made
popular by Ray Mears, Ron Medise
and many others, has a low bevel and a flat grind that just
begs to be taken out into the field
and worked hard....plus a few design variations I've played with.

Scandi-Bushcraft "Feathers"
These S-B's are for those who want a
"lighter-weight" version of the traditional Scandi-Bushcraft knife. These
knives
are still 8 1/2" overall with a zero ground edge but, these "feathers" are
only 1/8" thick and chisel ground on one
side. Once you decide on a "right-or-left-hand" cutter, you'll have a great
bush-crafting tool in a lighter version.
The knives above are forged from 1084 high carbon steel and fully quenched.
The blade has my "antiqued"
finish and handle scales of 1/8" Blaze-Orange G-10. The handle bolts and
lanyard liner are stainless steel.
These knives come with a molded Kydex sheath with a removable/reversible
belt
loop. This
allows the
knife to be carried on the right or left side...or remove the
belt loop
altogether for
pocket or
(adding a cord/chain) neck carry.
Price for similar pieces, with Kydex sheath: $250.00 each.
