I've been thinking about making a camp knife. I did a google image search and found a lot of camp knives that I would have thought were bowies. Is there a defined difference between the two?
Also, what blade thickness would you recommend for a 10"-12" camp knife? I was thinking about maybe 1/4" CPM154, but I have 5/32" on hand if that's not too thin.
Should I have it hardened to 61-62 or should I lower the hardness to better tolerate chopping?
