Title: minimalist knife
Post by: KHalverson on May 18, 2013, 01:43:25 pm

no fancy woods just a bare bones cutter
forged from a ford coil spring. spine and tang were drawn back to be tuff not brittle
unfortunatly it wont strike sparks from flint but thats ok with me
9.0 overall with a 4.5 blade
its lite and has a great feel
i cannot wait to put it to some chores over the summer
thanks for looking
Kevin
