Recurved belt knife for Africa

[robtattoo]

I've been thinking about a bigger knife to take to Namibia with me. I came up with this fella;

OAL - 12-1/4"
Blade length - 7-1/4"
Blade - convex/scandi ground 3mm 01, edge quenched.
Handle - Thuya Burr with 3, 8mm pins & lanyard tube.
Sheath - 4mm veg-tan with raised Bullsnake skin inlays.

Wow! And double WOW! That is one beefy knife! I like the convex grind over a hollow grind edge. Makes for one strong blade. That sheath turned out simply awesome! Nice combo there Rob!
