****Contest is over now - winner has been announced!****
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=507303
I've been struggling with this one for some time. It's really hard, philosophically, to top a simple Mora knife. Cheap, sharp, hard-workin. :thumbup:
But, I am now getting asked about it at least 2-3 times a week.
"Ever think of making a bushcraft knife"
"Dan, how's that bushcraft knife coming along."
"Boy, a bushcraft knife would sure make a good companion to your nessmuk design"
...and so on.
I guess I'm kinda dense....:foot:
I can't seem to drum up a design of my own. So, I'm appealing to you - the buyers/users/collectors/etc.
YOU tell ME what a good Bushcraft knife should be....COULD be.
What are the essential elements?
What blade length?
thickness?
grind type?
What kind of handle?
And throw in something you'd like to see incorporated into the design to "make it special".
I'm a big fan (always have been, always will be) of getting customers involved first-hand in the design and implementation of new knife patterns. Sure, I'll put my creative spin to it...but I love working with YOUR ideas.
I'm also a big fan of traditional/ethnic/historic knife patterns - and of breathing new life into age-old designs.
Post your suggestions here...and we'll get the design engines running.
If you're unsure how this works...do a search on WSK on this forum, as well as pig sticker (you'll see what it's all about).
As long as you've posted something that contributes to the design...you are IN the contest. No "me too"s are gonna do it this time....gotta earn your keep.
When we get the design finished, I'll hammer one out for the contest and pick a WINNER.
Nothing like a FREE KNIFE, right?
(just for speaking your mind)
So, bring on the suggestions.
Thanks!
