So when looking at the projects on my bench the other day I saw I have an untouched bar of 1095 that's 1 1/2 x 1/8 sitting in the corner. I thought it would be fun to make a camp knife out of it. Currently I have only worked on smaller hunter/utility knives. I would ideally like to make this one with a 6-8" blade and ~5" handle. Would this steel thickness work for a project like this or am I setting this blade up for failure in the field?
