Brostrom 90 Double Yellow Knife

May 13th, 2009

mic201m from knifeforums shared this striking custom made knife in the Scandinavian Knife Gallery and it looks great. Apparently he got the idea while sitting in a traffic jam – take another look and have a chuckle at the name, and the double yellow lines. Who knew they could inspire such a thing of beauty?

The blade is a 90×23mm Stefan Brostrom, and the handle is grey/yellow stab Box Elder. The overall length is 215mm. The scandi grind is a well loved and traditional bushcraft design. You can find some more great pics of this “Noh Pah King” knife on knifeforums.

Sadly I didn’t have a very large image to start with, so the higher res wallpapers have been scaled up, but I don’t think they’ve come out too badly in the end :)

Bark River Bob Loveless Drop Point Hunter

May 3rd, 2009

Another from Randy’s impressive BRKT collection, a Bark River Drop Point Hunter which Randy tells us is based on a Bob Loveless design (including the two tone pins). The hand made grip has been modified with the addition of a palm swell. The blade is 3.5″ long, .155″ thick made of 154cm stainless which rockwells to 58 with BRK’s standard convex grind. The grip on this knife is bocota.

The small Mikro Canadian also seen pictured is a convex ground blade 1.75″ long, .150″ thick and made of A2 steel hardened to 59-60 rc. Again, grip material is bocota.

Enjoy the wallpapers, photography courtesy of Randy Samos – many thanks!

I’ve been looking at my webstats, and I’ve changed the resolutions I’m doing as standard to better fit with what you guys are using (seems like widescreen wallpapers are in fashion!). I hope you like ‘em :)
