I wanted to make something to take to the Midwest hammer-in and knife show so I made this... another camp knife from clay quenched 1084. It is 12" over all with african blackwood handle. It's a 1/4" at the spine with a lot of distal taper. It's a chopper.  I peened a huge wrought iron rivet from some old farm equipment through the handle.  Man do I like working with the tropical hardwoods! I forgot how much easier they were to finish...

That is AWESOME!!!!!!  

Beautiful knife!

That's nice, Scott!
Those guys in Ohio will enjoy that.
Wish I could be there to see it.

wow
i really like that one

Nice!!! The rivet is a cool touch as well. It really gives it a classic look.

Could Ya swing by Kansas on Your way Just so I could hold it !
That taper looks good bet that feels nice in hand.

Nice work Scott.  I like the whole package...tapered tang, harmon, roughed up look    Just be careful with tropical hardwoods...mask & ventilation.  Doc

Now that's a knife!  When and where is the Hammer-in?
I love knives!
Magnus

Stunning work!

Scott you are making some nice strides in your knives!
Hey will that burger, CUT??

Thanks a lot everybody.... A lot of things came together for me on this one. I hope it cuts....  I'm sure hoping to chop something in Ohio...

Too bad I will miss you Karl, but I know where you will be and I'm jealous...

I really like that Scott,  clean & pretty but not afraid to be used!
