Hand forged survival knife with a fixed high carbon steel blade.
A few years ago a man squatting in the bush raised pigs. Lots of pigs. He ran out of money and decided to let them out to range in the bush. They ended up invading some folks’ garden. 6 times, each time more came. The folks hiked to the location where he had his pen. Left a note. The second time a note on a tree beside his road. Full days warding off the pigs. The third day they visited his 85 year-old mother. Invited her and her son to dine. They ignored the folks’ invitation.
The boar was at least 400 pounds. The pigs were digging up their gardens, they dug up a 5 year-old apple tree. The promise of a full root cellar in the fall was evaporating. The folks knew this was a problem. The Forest people got involved. Told the folks they could shoot them on site. They asked if the police could help. The police said if they didn’t deal and work it out between themselves they would come in. If they came in they were going to do something….nobody needs that, the folks thought.
Word got out that his boars were in the bush. In a couple of weeks the pigs and the squatter were gone.

We forged the knife from head saw steel. The tip, spine, choil and tang were protected with a thicker layer of clay. The rest of the blade, except the edge, was covered with a clay slip. While the clay slip was still wet we covered it with pulverized glass. Hardened in oil twice. Tempered the spine and tang blue. The whole blade was then tempered in an oven 3 times for a strong edge. We tested it on a 4 x 4 piece of oak. Could have chopped it in half easily.
Moose antler scales held with 8 threaded and peened pins. Drilled a lanyard hole and braided a short lanyard. The guard is a big piece of brass forged with copper. The sheath was cut and made from 8 oz. leather, double saddle stitched, tooled and dyed. All by hand. We equipped the scabbard with a leg tie. The boreal forest is the theme.
