Another Yakut_Evenki knife
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2019 1:23 am
This is just an enjoyable look-see for knife lovers.
After I got my Siberian Forge knife in September 2018 http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5145 , I decided to stay on the mailing list sent by this Canadian forger. I viewed a knife he recently created, and was surprised (more like blown away!) with how different from the traditional in-the-woods knife I have --- in construction and use.
Like mine, this knife is also a traditional Siberian hand-forged Evenki. A brief look at my knife first. Mine would be used for all we do with hunting and outdoor/woods camping, wilderness survival, even whittling. Here is one September 2018 photo of my knife.
The huge difference in this latest knife he forged is that it is a fighting knife. The forger calls it "Spirit of the Woods."
The highly noticeable difference.
My knife has a 3" blade with a 5" handle.
This fighting knife has an 8" blade made of high carbon steel, with an 11" inch handle. OAL = 19 inches!
Just for fun, I plan to do some further reading/research, and dig into the history of this fighting knife. I think it is a very sharp-looking blade, and like that it originates out of another time and country!
