nice knife but give him shit about still using the pencil sharpener he needs to get the grinder running

Latest knife off to a very active and successful southern hunter.
Layered G10 handle, lime green liners.
12c27n, full grind with jimping.

Very nice - that jimping looks on point.

Bark River Bravo 1 Light. Full height grind. Drop point. Cru-Wear.

How do you like cru wear @Tahr ? Thinking of getting some in to play with, sounds like it has awesome edge stability so can be run thin bte and very hard

its great. Edge holding better than 3V but not quite as tough. Stains a little bit more than 3V but is still way better than the old carbon steels.

Not much in it between the 2 but because Cru-Wear has better edge holding and is plenty tough enough its my pick.

Nice back steak you've got there Tahr, oh the knife is in the way of the picture, and don't go barking back at me

That deer looks like it’s had it! Lost a lot of bark

As much as I love making hunting knives for clients within the hunting community I also enjoy the change of pace that a big kitchen knife makes.
8 inch Venom K Tip chefs knife. Stainless full grind with Yellow / purple dual layer burlap Micarta from the states. Toxic yellow and black G10 liners and nice big fat carbon pins.
Sharp and made to slice, food prep can be fun and carving the Venison roast made easy.

This nasty old Opinel is my go-to.

Many flaws, like blade getting stuck when the wood swells from blood/water and other nasty shit getting stuck in the holes and moving parts. I can still smell goat buck oil in the blade slot. Yuck. But otherwise it has done me well, easy to sharpen. Father got me a couple of nice morakniv knives for christmas that I still need to use. Im just afraid of fucking up the blade as I am lousy at sharpening stainless steel. Need to find a good sharpening service in Dunedin.

I have a couple of these too that I uses as camp kitchen knives because of the nice thin blades. I pulled mine apart and took a little extra wood out of the blade slot to compensate for the wood swelling. They don't jamb up any more.

I’m not in Dunedin, but if you post them to me I can sharpen stainless no problems at all, come back shaving sharp, with a mirror polish.
