Woodsman Set

This set was brought about through a conversation as to what the perfect knife for the woods would be. Many opinions were tossed around and everyone left holding strong to their own views, my thoughts are what count here though... I am of the opinion that there isn't a perfect knife for the woods, there are just to many chores to do and one knife isn't suited for all of them. You need a heavier chopper for cutting larger saplings or roots, maybe cutting the ribs away from a back bone on a large game animal, maybe you just ran into bigfoot and all you have in your hand is that "perfect" woodsman knife that happens to be 3.75 inches long. Bigfoots claws are that long. What I created based on this is a two knife set, one with a larger blade and a second one with a small utility blade. The large knife sports a blade that is 13 inches long in a modified kukri style, the guard is of mild steel, blued, with a knuckle guard. The handles of both are Mappa burl with blood wood and African black wood accents. The blade on the smaller is 5 inches of the same modified kukri style and a forged mild steel guard. Both blades keep the forge scale and have a matte finish on the blade grind. The sheath is a traditional, with an outer pouch for the smaller knife, and brass accents and tie down points so it can be worn at the belt with a leg tie, strapped to a pack, or worn on the back. If you took a set like this to the woods you would be able to utilize either knife for the appropriate chore. Or ... or ... fend off big foot as needed.
