Newest Knife and Sheath
« on: September 27, 2011, 02:18:43 pm »
I never know where to post these, I'm on this post more than Prim. Skills, so here goes.  I made this knife outta a circ. blade.  Sister to the one I etched a few weeks back and posted.  The gut hook is the tip of the saw point.  I cut it out large w/ a plasma torch, cut to size w/ a chisel and used a pedestal and angle grinder to shape w/ file and strop to sharpen.  The leather is scrap I buy for cheap @ a local leather shop.  I used this piece as was.  When I first got it done, I really didn't like it too much, but wore it all day yeasterday and it wears pretty good and seems practical too.  I figured I'd keep a couple pair of gloves and a rag and cord in there when traveling light in the field or when stumping, maybe some hot glue, a lighter, some thread, some points, stuff like that.  The bag has a gusset that is a little hard to see in the pics.  Thanks for lookin', and what do you think?  Derik Gratz

That's pretty cool I like the different spin on the gut hook. Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Thanks for the reply Ron.  I've been wearing it for a couple of days now q/ just the knife.  It is fairly unobtrusive (?), it doestn't get in the way.
