thick camp knife

[clint]

so another knife finished ,this is 5160 it has a 4 1/2" cutting blade with a nice Harmon"?" line ,couldn't get it a pic but its nice,9 7/8 overall,2" wide blade,
2 3/8" top edge and its thick 3/8" made it one night when all's i had for steel is some one ton leaf springs and no propane for the forge. and jim beam came over and no wife at home so we made a knife . the handle is botcote. thinking i'd never sell it it sat on the bench for a year .put the handle on it yesterday took it with me to the fairgrounds "fixing some lights for the fair" and this guy saw it and bought it for 150.00 on the spot "what luck" i have to make a sheath for it next week but he wants it for camping .

Man that is one serious looking slab of steel. Don't think that blade will ever break or wear out. I like the looks of it.
