My Bushcraft Knife

[4est Trekker]

I finished this short little bushcrafter up last spring and have been beating the tar out of it since then.  I forged it from one of my old Nicholson 4-in-1's. It's got a 3.75" blade with a mild convex grind. The size/grind don't put it in the standard bushcraft knife category, but I find it perfect for the chores I have around camp.  It's also got a tapered tang and a mild forged finger guard.  The sheath holds my favorite little fire steel/diamond stone/ceramic rod combo made by S.O.G.  The knife is pretty ugly by most standards, the grind is quite tacky, and it's got some field character, but I ain't complanin'!

I think it's beautiful! I love knives from files.

Not ugly or tacky, I like it.  Did you have to heat treat it?

[4est Trekker]

Thanks, gents.  Yes, the heat treat was as follows:

Anneal (bring to critical temp, cool in vermiculite)
Two forging sessions, each with a series of 3 reducing heats at the end
Double quench in oil
Three 2-hour tempering cycles.
