Knife 11 – Leather handled EDC

This Knife 11 – Leather handled EDC is a simple design and fairly easy to make. Using leather, rope or paracord for a handle saves a lot of time and can be removed and used for another purpose in a pinch. You will see some survival type knives made like this.

Adding additional holes in the tang helps reduce weight, it gives epoxy additional places to grab when holding the scales in place and may help balance the knife. In this case it adds some grip should the knife be used without the wrap.

I have a few Custom Made Hight Carbon Knives left from the book "With My Own Hands - My Knife Making Journey" available on Amazon. (This knife is shown on page 84). I documented the process of making the knives and in some instances the sheaths. I also documented the history of several knife styles as they were made in the book. 

This Knife is a hand crafted Small Skinner with a leather wrapped handle. It can be used as a every day carry (EDC) knife made from 1080 steel. Full tang construction. Made in my shop in Upstate New York.

My custom made knives are designed and built for everyday use despite their classic allure and beauty. This is the knife you can wear on your side and use daily, or when in the field during your favorite hunting season.

A custom made one-of-a-kind knife is more than a great conversation  piece, it’s your go-to knife during your hunting adventures or what you want to use when doing all the household projects that never cease to end.

It's a piece you will want to show your friends and hunting partners. As with your favorite firearm, you'll want it in the pictures you take to remember your hunting, camping or other adventures.

But the knife also needs to do the job. It needs to stay sharp, and be easily returned to sharp when it's use is tough and rigorous. It's like a good friend who is always there when you need it most and ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
