Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Newest Bush Knife
Posted: 1/26/2015 3:42:35 PM EDT
Some of you know I make knives.  I have been experimenting with various parang-type designs for the last 20 years or so and use these things on a more or less daily basis on the ranch and in the mountains around my place.  As with all of them, I make my own handles and scabbards.  This handle is walnut. It is a 3/4 tang, differentially tempered,  left-hand chisel-ground razor-shaving sharp thing with a blade of just shy of 13 inches with a match-striker surface filed in the guard.

Had to take some pix as it will be beat up pretty soon.

This one was an Oregon sawbar.  I do not know the specific alloy but I do all my own heat treating and it will test out to RC53-55 on the edge.  The steel acts alot like 1080.  I also use millsaws and log processor bars, the former being thinner than a sawbar and the latter thicker.
