The materials were 5 chin high Willow stave's, a couple of flat pieces of Cedar, and some 550.
After some time and a bunch of Canadian Jam knots, the project was finished. You can also see in this picture the knife is rigged for neck carry.

Final Field Testing for Sargent Model 1
Well, I am finishing up the last of the field testing I am going to be doing for the Sargent Model 1. If you saw the recent post I did on harvesting willow, you night have wondered what i am doing with them. One of the projects was to make a pair of Roycroft Snowshoes. I won't get into the how and why of these, that is not what this post is about. When I am running a knife through its paces, I like to see how it will function doing small tasks. These tasks include notching, cross battoning, striping, and shaping wood. Not only is this a good test for the knife, it gives me a chance to improve my skills.

Thanks boys, I love doing projects like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to test all this stuff and post honest feed back. BTW, thought the TI canteen kit was awesome but didn't post any thing cause I have plenty of cooking gear and figured somebody else may benefit from it more. Take care man.
