Can a Camping Knife and Hunting Knife Be One in the Same?
This is an all wood Trapper style pocket knife.except for the brass pins. These are fun to make. They are a challenge because of all the minor adjustments that are necessary for it to function just like a real knife. I make mine as close to actual size as possible so I use the very hard wood. In this example I used Black Walnut for the scales and the inner edge of Bodark (Osage Orange or Bois DArc) sapwood for the blades, bolsters, springs and shield because its still very hard. I used a Lansky sharpener to shape the blade and plunge line.
