I'm excited to get some new work underway for 2021 and 1st up is the bush brute. The bigger brother to Bushcamp, the bush brute has a longer and broader blade with a slightly longer handle, both to help with heavier chores. The brute will excel around the camping environment while remaining durable enough to handle wood processing and shelter building tasks . The high point makes it a pleasure for push cutting feathers sticks or cutting on a flat surface like a cutting board, picnic table, or log. The convex grind does a great job moving wood around and slicing up your favorite meats and potatoes for your meal over a campfire. The handle is neutral so it can accommodate plenty of hand positions.
For this run, we're a thicker blade stock of 5/32" so it's even brutier.
We just sent an order into Jarod Todd for 5 blanks to be cut and heat treated so if you want a special order handle, let me know. The knives will be finished by David Mary for me.
Prices on these will be right around $185 for your common G10 colors and a little more for liners or other handle materials. They will include a black kydex or boltaron sheath unless specified otherwise in advance.
Blade Steel AEB-L Stainless Steel
Hardness 61 RC
Heat Treated by Jarod Todd Heat Treating
Blade Grind High convex
Blade Thickness 5/32”
Blade Length 6.0”
Blade Width 1.5”
Handle Material G10
Handle Length 5.0”
Overall Length 11.0”
We tentatively expect these to be available in late May or early June.
I need some better stock images but this is the best I have for now of the prototype. I have large-size hands for reference.
