He wanted a nice knife, sturdy, for several tasks from the sea to the hills.
And also he is was focused on performance rather than rust.
O2 steel is oaky for this tasks…

Blade in O2 steel, 3,6mm thick, 9cm long. Overall about 20cm. Finished in brut the forge and then slightly screubbed with 2000 grit paper.
Handles in Ovangkol, oiled, black spacers.
Sheat in 4mm thick leather, oiled and finished with resolene. Hand stitched with double needles, as the ol’ times.
Sturdier than knife…
