I’m not a big knife guy, but a woodsman needs a good camp

Blade. Our I.T. Guy is an amateur knife maker. Several of the guys have contracted a build from him. He has a bunch of kids, likes the hobby, and I know can use the extra bucks. It’s probably too much but it’s a good cause, and custom.

We drew up a rough design.

I wanted a really thick and robust camp knife that could take abuse and do it all. We modded the front part of the scales from this rendering as I told him I’d no doubt snap off the wood where it got thin. I need robust.

I wanted a “skull crusher” and lanyard hole too. The scales I ordered special from Bethlehem Israel, book end matched native olive.

Zach is leaving us soon but going to push through the build. He got it cut out, heat treated, and doing some shaping. I know little about knives. But I need a simple to sharpen edge with a tip I won’t snap off. The lanyard should help me keep better track of it. Thought you might find it interesting.
