JK Handmade Knife of the Week

[mqqn]

Pitdog is not on BF anymore, but he was on Facebook about 6 months ago.

That is great to hear. I remember he was having medical issues.
The Knatchet is a cool blade.
Do you remember how many you created?
I know this was an earlier one since I was into the maple burl.

I am a little late this week - we had to do some traveling unexpectedly over the weekend.
This week's knife is the awesome Knatchet from a design by member pitdog, who I believe is sadly no longer with us.
Pitdog used to post pictures of he and his two dogs hiking trails in the pacific northwest.
The beautiful sheath is by @darkmatter35 -

You could use one on your next training session, or when you head out to the boonies just outside of town.

Is that another way to say this is true? To quote Bill Murray. “That’s the fact, Jack!!”

This week I pulled out an interesting one-off knife. This is a chisel ground, 1/4" thick no name knife, I just called it the Bi-color chisel grind. It is a beast and one where John was experimenting with two-color micarta scales.

LOOKS LIKE IT COULD PRY OPEN A RUSSIAN TANK!

It was beefy!

Always like the way he does the flat facets one the top and bottoms of the handles.

Where most of the torque goes, looks comfy.

I was rummaging around in my knife chest (old chest of drawers where I store knives in a spare bedroom) and I ran across my Keebler Kephart and Nessmuk - so that is what I will use this week.

I am afraid I will give John more medical issues when he remembers all the crazy stuff I have asked him to make, but he always came through. I had three of these but I gave one to RevDevil -

Hi Folks -

This week I happened to pull out the Mack Rule Number 9 - a very fine design.
This version has my requested modifications to the original design, including a modified choil and rounded spine.

I also requested John's excellent torched oak scales.

Hi Fellow JK Fans -

This week I chose a very special knife - the UDTJim Extended Hiker.
This knife belonged to Jim, our good friend and the late father of our own Rob Babcock.
Jim had the largest collection of JK Knives that I know of, and Rob sent out some of these special knives to a lucky few of us who knew and love Jim. This knife will never leave my collection.
