Post up your 4-5" Bushcraft blades

[AFCOP82]

Here are a couple of mine. 4.5" blades. 80crv2 steel.

Very nice work!

Really like this one. Cuts like the dickens.



And here's one of my favs........

I don't know how to post pictures, but I am surprised that nobody has drawn attention to the Camillus Bushcrafter. I have one, and think that it is just great.

FEATURES

1095 high carbon steel blade
Heat coloured flint grey blade finish
4" (10 cm) scandi ground blade
Back of blade throws sparks
Brown canvas micarta handle
Total length: 8.5" (21.5 cm)
Heavy leather sheath that looks and feels and smells like it was made in a saddle shop
Made in the USA

It costs about $100 (about $65 in U.S. funds) here in Canada and comes with a lifetime warranty from Camillus. Canadian Tire (a huge national retailer) stocks it and offers an immediate lifetime in-store exchange warranty policy. Great reviews ...

Here's a little Bush utility knife I made for myself.
O1 and black micarta.

Very clean lines. Have you had a chance to use it?

Why thank you! I've done some carving and a couple fuzz sticks. She handles nicely IMO. I'll get some feed back from some friends on it in about a month along with a couple few other designs.

Please share the results when you do.

Will do! Thanks again.

Koster Bushcraft with my normal walk through the weeds day gear, in the Leatherman pouch is a Skeletool with all the bits, Pick Jack folding lock pick set, (kinda like a jackknife with lockpicks), an SAK Alox Farmer plus an LED AAA light, bandana and my harmonica. With those things on me and a full belly I'm good for a day in the woods, worst case I could start a fire and build an impromptu/makeshift shelter if need be.

On the Ed Alpern Bushcraft sheath I have a firestarter along with some paracord, a bunch of double sided Velcro, compass and a set of pace count beads.

This is one of my favorite threads. So many awesome blades. That said, I miss some of the makers who are no longer making knives like Breeden, Andrews and Wohlwend.

Here's my super cool BHK Woodsman Pro.



Vintage Remington RH32 with my Norlund Camper axe. Sweet combo.

Here's my L.T. Wright Boattail Scandi. I love this knife. I've got lots of knives but this one gets most of the use for my "bushcraft" or camping or whatever use. It just fits me well.

I had one back in the day when Blind Horse Knives was making them and the steel they used wasn't tempered hard enough for my liking. This one from L.T. is a little thicker handle, a little longer and a little harder. Just right. I love it and so glad I found one.

It came with a slight micro bevel but I'm working on getting it to a true Scandi grind. Works great so far.

Had to sell this one but making one with this combo for myself as soon as I get a chance.

Here's one I gave to a close friend and his wife that lives in AZ.
I love using a Kephart style knife.

I found the elk horn I used on this one while backpacking on the CDT in NM in 2009.

I only make knives to give away to family and close friends. It lets them know how much I care for them.

That knife looks very very nice!
Esp the friendly blade shape speaks to me.
You have some lucky friends and relatives.
What's the steel used and the length?

Thanks! I really enjoy using a Kephart style blade.
I've made some with O-1 and some with A-2. This one is out of 1/8" O-1. Heat treated by Peters to 59.
Cutting edge is 4", overall is 8 7/8" and 1 1/16" tall.
The friend I gave it to really liked that I used elk horn I found while backpacking.

Might as well throw this one in there, too.
