Redwood Burl Belt Knife...

[J. Doyle]

I recently finished this utility camp/belt knife and thought I'd post some pics.

Hand forged from 1075 steel
10" overall, 5 1/4" blade, .190" at the ricasso with full distal taper
Twisted fileworked spine
Black g-10 fluted collars
Bronze thorn and vine accents
Stabilized Redwood burl handle

All comments and discussion welcome.

Really well done

Bronze sets it off nice, burl has crazy action in it.

So much to like about this knife.

Beautiful as always. Love the handle material and the detail of the collars and filework of the spine.

Beautiful wood, terrific hammon action, and wonderful details. That's one to be proud of.

So nice! Bronze accents add a great touch but it all looks great.

Can I ask what camera you are using? I'm starting to look for one.

Very nice. I like the design. Should be a good cutter.

Mr Doyle no offense but I would never use that knife!! I would frame it and put it on a wall. To beautiful to use!!

 

[John Wilson]

The filework on the spine as well as on the spacers goes so well with the burl. This knife definitely has a "theme" to my eye, and it is beautiful. This knife deserves a name- "Crown of Thorns" comes to mind.
