John I really like the Rusk is it me or are they getting better each time I see one .

I think so, but since there are only 2 of them ever made, who knows.

This is rooikat`s design, he has one and this is for his brother.

Got out to the shop real early this morning and ground out 2 LDK`s, 1 longer LDK, a Tin Knife, a Bushcrafter, a Scandimuk, a Lobo, and a Hatchet!!!

Tomorrow is Connie`s day off, so I will be goofing off, but plan on grinding the bevels on Friday and heat treating on Saturday.

I love the RUSK design--it's like a baby Khukri and full of awesome.

Thanks, Noah! That is exactly what I was aiming at, a pocket khukri with a useable handle (and a clip point!).

dang, already?

looks sweet. can't wait to see the complete package with the sheath and firesteel and go play with them.

ms3902 · Sep 12, 2010

I must have been living under a rock for awhile because this is the first one of these that I have seen. The odd thing is that I made a cardboard cut out just recently that looks almost identical.

I was hoping it would hang around to the get together when I saw it too. I'd like to get my hands on a bushcrafter.

fixer · Sep 13, 2010

if John wants to hang onto it until the get together so anyone there can check it out, i'm fine with that.

there's a sticky thread at the top of the forum about scandi bushcrafters... here- http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=701838
