Winter Storm Camp Knife

[Bill Siegle]

Snow days mean shop time I made this cool camp knife while the storm was hitting us this weekend. Maroon/black G10 scales with a blued 1/4in 5160 blade. I think this one is going to stay with me a little while

Very nice lines Bill!

Would you consider making that pattern a regular offering please. Beautiful piece.

Amongst all the other projects, I have a couple blanks to work on

You’ve been cranking out non stop winners lately.

Excellent lines. It looks comfy and usable.

Getting some work done on a couple more of these 1/4in 5160 with tapered tangs and contoured scales. Still a ways to go but off to a great start I need to come up with a name for the design. Something this cool should have a name

The Polar Bear or Ice Bear kinda works, given the snow storm it was born in and your family of bear-themed camp knives.

Oooh I like that! Polar Bear it is!!!!!

Something Portland or OR themed. The Cascadia?

Something Portland or OR themed. The Cascadia?

I am going with Polar Bear It’s a fitting name and even holds up with my other bear themed designs

Finished up these two recently I love how they feel with the tapered tangs and sculpted handle scales!

Bill, I love that knife and especially the one on the right with darker scales. I recently saw one sale on BCUSA with the exposed tang. That one's my favorite. Polar Bear showing it's tail.
