Camp/Belt knife with ironwood and bronze

[J. Doyle]

Here's a nice little camp utility knife I made recently. I like the lines and the size of this knife. Feels really light and quick in hand.

Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched dark
11" overall, 6 1/4" blade, .200" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
False edge, just shy of sharp
Rounded filed thumb grip and ricasso edge
Bronze fittings and accents
Desert Ironwood handle

All comments and discussion welcome.

That's classy! I really like the look of the bronze. I have been wanting to use some for quite a while!

That knife is soooo! Nice! I'd have a hard time using it in camp unless it was a 5 star type camp. and I was cutting up a nice steak.

That's an incredible display of craftsmanship and looks to be a very well balanced design. Someone is going to have a treasure in that one for sure.
