The Salvage project

Kevin Evans · July 27, 2010, 04:41:00 PM

If you guys remember I posted a blade I cracked in heat treatment a month or so ago,I saw it laying on the bench the other day said what the hec so I cut it off reground put a guard on it and a piece of wood off our farm that I had stabilized.
Thought it would be a good time to practice on new handle design and played around a little. This knife could never be sold but it will work good in my pick-up as a hunting knife(it is a real cutter)
It started as a 10.5" blade nowits
6.5" blade 11.5 OA
stainless fittings
cedar wood
Here is pic of it broke and then reground

Thanks for looking!!Critisism welcome

The only critisism I can see is that you wont ever sell it.

Kevin, nice to see you back, in fine style I might add too!

As Karl said "nice save" indeed!

Great looking knife, and that cedar is very unusual! It reminds me of polished cow horn, like used for a powder horn! I like it!
