Thread: New knife courtesy of Savagebushcraft.

  1. #1

    New knife courtesy of Savagebushcraft.

    I did a drawing for a knife blade some time ago and have always wanted to see what it would look like in real life.
    Well, Adam took the job on and has produced a cracker.
    I'm not going to write too much as the pictures can do the talking, all I will say is that the level of service and communication was spot on, I was updated with photos and commentary of each stage as it was carried out, so it made the experience of seeing it come to life all the better.

    Blade: 01
    Handle: Buffalo horn.
    Liners: St.steel.
    Bolster: St.steel
    Pins and lanyard tube: St.steel.

    3D analysis to show balance point. This was then altered to account for handle weight and drilled holes were calculated to keep the balance line just above the finger choil.
