This
is what a kit looks like loosly assembled.


When
assembled you will trim down the rivet heads to near flush with
the scales. The screw driver slots will then be gone. Using sand
paper you will bring the rivet flush with the scales and do your
additional sanding to your preferred feel and fit of the grip.
here
is a completed knife
The following photos are to show trhe difference between the different
models by laying them over each other.

Some
visitors to the site clicked this link to see what a Bushcraft knife
is. A Bushcraft knife is the primary tool for a person who practices
the skill set of self sufficiency in "the bush". Don't
confuse this with the survivalists of the 90's. It is a whole different
mentality. The old survivalist were motivated by distrust of the
government or society as a whole. No doubt bushcrafting has some
of that thought with many people, but is more about yourself and
developing the lost skills of the past. Making fire without matches,
making shelter, etc. all with few or no tools, other then the bushcraft
knife. It is a sport of sorts and attracts people from all walks
of life. If you want to learn more, do an internet search there
are many forums on the subject and countless youtube how-to videos.
A bit of an overview on the knife options. they are available in
two blade steels O1 is the most popular steel type with Bushcrafters,
and D2 probably the second most popular with Bushcrafters. But D2
is more popular then O1 for most other uses, because O1 is not a
stainless steel, and D2 is moderately stainless.
The
term "grind" refers to the blades style of taper from
the body of the knife to the cutting edge. Bushcrafters like a Scandi
grind because it gives the strong overall blade when doing things
like splitting wood. A flat grind is preferred for most other tasks
because the knife reaches its thickest point much higher on the
blade so the knife passes through with less physical resistance.
In short a hardcore bushcrafter normally wants an O1 scandi grind,
but for a great general purpose knife then a D2 flat grind is my
recommendation. Or better yet, one of each.
These
knives are sold complete like any knife, but also sold as kits in
the Bushcrafting spirit of doing it yourself. Only minimal tool
are needed to complete your knife. Something to trim down the bolt
heads (Dremel or a file etc) glue (super glue or epoxy) and wet/dry
sand paper. You assemble your knife handle then shape it to what
feels good in your hand. The kit come with sheath. (sanding the
handles should be done wet and outside). Knifes can be ordered complete
or as blade only.
Also
available are plain blades if you have your own handle material
and wish to make your own sheath. http://www.burlsales.com is a great source for the finest examples of burl and other wood.
If you are like me, I love the nice wood but don't do leather work,
so I get the kit, then order some nice wood and make my own scales
(the kit scales make a good pattern) and use everything else from
the kit. Lots of options with these kits!
