Stabilized woods won't shrink. Neither will some woods like Lignum vitae.
It really wasn't really that much of an issue with the shrinkage, don't think they will have too much trouble sorting it out..
Micarta or wood and full convex would make this perfect for me :D
PS! The ones Spyderco showed at Leeds were very nice :)

I believe the plan was for the wood to be fully "natural", so stabilized wood wasn't an option. Lignum vitae would be nice :)NoFair wrote:Stabilized woods won't shrink. Neither will some woods like Lignum vitae.

I'm very keen on this one. Chris Claycomb's designs look beautiful.
I always wanted a better bush craft knife than the ones I make do with. A tentative thought: The one in the first post might use a gentle choil where the handle meets the blade? I love the Caly 3, the Native and the Manixes for this feature.

Fantastic. I've spent years looking for a better bushcraft knife. So far my Moran and Buck FB knives have done OK - the Moran better than the hollow-ground Buck. I have a feeling that this new bushcraft knife will be a hot seller being co-designed with bushcrafters and all.sal wrote:The project is still on a front burner. I'm waiting on a prototype now. Chris has designed a sheath. As soon as the proto is approved, we'll begin production.

Here you go. I had a heck of a time getting a decent shot. The blade finish on the prototype was so smooth it reflected light all over the place, making it tough to get the grind lines visible.
Sigh, I can't wait for some of the other prototypes to become 'declassified', like that tiny little folder, the 'Balance' IIRC, because it means we're closer to production! :D

Just my experience, I have to blades in 0-1 steel, The Sidekick and The Paring knife from Brian Goode. I use the Paring knife every days in kitchen, a thin blade with a very thin point, since two years... sharpening the blade every two or three month is very quick and easy with a little spyderco white stone. Always very sharp. The point is very hard and as new. The Sidekick have the same ease of use. I like 0-1 a lot... but has differencialy heat treated "to have a hard edge and a soft spine to aid in flex. I put a hair-popping edge on it and headed for the bush :big-thump "...araneae wrote:O-1 steel is new for me. Anyone have some details re this stuff?
