Description: Journeyman Smith Jim Arbuckle resides in Yorktown, VA. He started making knives in 1979 and has been forging knives since 1996. Growing up in Washington State, he spent most weekends hunting and fishing and has a great understanding of what features make a knife perform. This handmade camp knife really shows off Jim's experience as a knifemaker and knife user.
If you want a knife that can handle anything you encounter when off the beaten path, this just might be the one!
Jim forged the blade from 5160 carbon steel which combines high toughness and edge holding. The blade was then hardened and double tempered to Hrc 58 to increase strength. The spine was then torch annealed to provide support. A meticulous hand rubbed satin finish adds a heirloom quality to this utilitarian knife. A false edge lightens the blade and provides a detail-oriented tip.
The handle is made from curly Brazilian walnut that has been nicely contoured to provide a very comfortable grip. The ergonomics of the knife really locks your hand in. This is a knife you won't want to put down! The tang extends past the handle that allows paracord to be added for a secure grip when chopping.
A leather sheath hand tooled and hand stitched by Arbuckle is included to keep the knife close at hand.
Excellent work throughout!
