Another Gunflint Bowie for a "happy camper"!
10 3/16" of my 1" square 1984 nuthin'-but-sweet 5160. Mated that up with some 416 for take-down fittings, and a piece of stabilized curly maple for something to hang on to.
15 1/2" overall.
(strange lighting conditions today in the 'natural' world.)



When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Karl , another FINE knife, I'm sure he will be a happy camper

Very nice Karl!  What grit did you take the hand sanding too?

I took it up to 400 and then brought it back down to 320.
The natural lighting I used on this photo makes the sanding scratches look like 60 grit! But, it's not.

I like a 320 finish when it's done nice and smooth like that one.

Very nice Karl. I am a fan of 5160 myself, also a tad jealous of your special stock pile.
