Nicholson Knife

(1/4) > >>

The Gopher:
This is the third knife i have made. I got the file from the thrift store for 99 cents, annealed it in a blazing hot camp fire and just left it in the coals to cool down slowly, did the profile on a grinder, shaped the blade with a grinding disk and a drill press with the bed set at an angle, heat treated and did the scales. The scales are scrap osage. Nothing real pretty about this knife, the blade has scratches but i think it kind of matches with the file marks still on there. I kind of like the utilitarian, straight handled knife. This will last a lifetime.

The Gopher:
Forgot to mention, the scales have three coats of CA for finish.

KHalverson:
very nice bushcrafting knife.

Polar Bear:
Good looking knife.  What is the blade length and over all weight?

sadiejane:
