KITCHEN KNIFE
Custom kitchen knife from a Rasp. Black canvas Micarta with blue liners held with 3/16 mosaic pins. Acid stain finish with polished bevel. This knife is being sent down to R Bar leatherworks for a custom leather sheath. This is the second knife I have made like this, it is my rendition of an Ol' hickory kitchen knife, which probably actually based off of an I.Wilson design from Sheffield England
The kitchen knife was sent for a custom leather sheath at R Bar Leather, in the Woodlands Tx. Russ did it up right!
TRACKER CAMPING KNIFE.
12" Tracker camping/hiking knife commissioned by a friend. I did not design this profile, it is something that he found and wanted to have made custom. It is made from 1/4" 1075 carbon steel and has a lot of backbone. The rear bevel is closer in geometry to an axe grind and the forward bevel is a hollow grind knife bevel. The whole blade received an acid stain. Brown Micarta and orange liners. 1/4" corby bolts and 1/4" flared tube.
Kitchen Knives
The 11" is from a flat bar of 1095 carbon steel. The 10" is from a farrier rasp. Both have mesquite handles and acid stained finish.
Face Cleaver
It is a mini cleaver/straight razor. Why, It just seemed like it should be a thing! The smaller one on the bottom, is by far, the sharpest thing to have ever left the CottarKnives shop.
Hatchet/Hawk Prototype
Hatchet/Hawk forged from a single farrier rasp with a hand carved oak handle. I folded over a flap of the rasp on the front of the blade so the bevel would not have a seam. I need to hard test it to see how it holds together, but it has a good feel to it. If it works well, I can see wanting to make more!
