Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: See, now you did it... Prefer long handles. This is Korean actually - ended up bending mine but it is a great shape. https://www.shovelandhoe.com/KoreanL_Korean_Long_Handle_Weeder_Cultivator_p/678.htm https://cdn3.volusion.com/nmtsp.cvsnp/v/vspfiles/photos/678-3.jpg?v-cache=1562586869 Also check out the Kusakichi (I love the M, haven't tried the V). Japanese forged with a knife edge. Bachi Gata - no long handle but super effective. I have a similar one with a mid-length handle and a much bigger head as well, and that is a super power-house. Those are a little hard to find. Hori Hori for an actual digging knife. Bunch of other good options. https://www.shovelandhoe.com/Japanese_Garden_Hoes_Cultivators_s/93.htm I saw that most were hand tools. Which has a place and is probably better for your back. But also lacks a comedy aspect. Interesting shapes on the knife edged hoes as well. Probably great on the brambles too. Damn that is a hoe aficionado website. |

Didn’t get a whole lot done on the folder today.
Mostly helped teach a friend how to make a knife. He is making a bushcraft knife. I did the bevels myself since I don’t have any jigs and free handing takes a long time to learn. But I let him start them and get an idea of what it’s like. Interesting to see things I am used to be foreign and difficult for someone else. Some of the steps that I thought of as easy are actually hard-ish for a beginner. Good for me to learn what I need to teach when teaching someone.  Attached FileStarted on the cuts for the liner lock. This knife is very compact, it comes right in almost to the bearing.  Attached FileAlso finished up the G10 spacer. I am going for what Kyle Royer calls a “museum fit” on these parts to help give some texture and to add some contrasting lines and shadows between parts. It also hides some sins in fitup though there weren’t any to begin with so that isn’t really a factor here.  Attached FileTomorrow my first order of business is the pocket clip. Once that is done I can cut the rest of the lock in. Then I will shape the handle and then bend the lock and fit it to the blade. Final step will be grinding in the bevels on and finishing the blade. |

Was below ten this past weekend with 80mph gusts. Wife as usual went nuts covering bulb sprouts and saved most stuff. This little one is out in the "grass" and was left to fend for itself.
 Lol - didn't even notice or remember the branding on the cutter after a few years - rare occasion that it matches what I was smoking.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Searcherfortruth: It's kind of a do more than one thing blade, like skinning and a meat cleaver type of blade. I've used the capping knife for deer, but never used the cleaver skinner. When I was a skinner at a taxidermy shop I loved using a boneing knife for fleshing bears. I could peel the fat off a bear 1/2 at a time in about 20 minutes on the fleshing beam without moving the hide after I got past the beam itself. Usually had to do the other side before I took it all the way off or the hide was always trying to fall off the beam because of uneven weight. I can't imagine skinning a moose or bear with that blade as it's really thick and no flexible. The blade is sharp all around the radius though. On the big one? |
