This is my first attempt at a camp knife, 01 Bolsters, Cold blued finish, Cocobolo handle. Sorry for such crappy pics. Overall length around 12.5" Thickness 3/16" .

Thanks for looking. Any comments would be appriciated.

That's really nice. I like the blade shape a lot. Looks very usefull. Great job.:thumbup:

Wow, for a first camp knife, I think it's pretty darn good! :thumbup: The one dilemma I find with it is the bolsters - the edges look too squared, which would probably dig into the fingers after a bit. Other than that, it looks really good!

Looks good

You should check out Charles Sauer knives. That reminds me of one of his

How thick is the stock?

thats the coolest knife I have seen in a while! Round over that bolster and it will be better I think.....Good Job!!!

is that a hollow grind?

wilhurley · Nov 30, 2005

Yes it is a hollow grind. I'll round the Bolsters alittle. I'm thinking about putting it in the For sale section.
