Bush knife
Bush knife
Made this knife at home for my p.w. To keep it in the truck with some of my tools...5160 steel I hope..I heat treated as so...she holds an edge so far after chopping that block of hard wood and some cardboard

thanks..yep truck spring...alot of work but it was fun....
Re: Bush knife
THAT is wayyyyy cool !!! 
I am a HUGE knife guy. 5160 ROCKS for a knife blade. It is a steel that can cut other steels, literally !!!
Not 5160 but they used to have a video of 5160 doing the exact same thing.

4Runner was a GREAT vehicle but could not even tow our 6x10 enclosed utility trailer comfortably, even when it was empty-ish.
It was time. Truck was still leaking BADLY every time it rained or snowed & melted. It was leaking at every single gasket (rear window, front window, all 4 doors). You could sit inside & watch it run down the inside of windshield, rear window & drip off the upper side door beams. It was molding on the inside & starting to stink. Needed new steering gearbox, shocks, new upgraded T-style steering, tires, brake lines, d/s manifold bolts that are barely recognizable due to rust-removed & replaced. Everyone around here would not even touch em once they looked at them.
So, say what you will. PW turned into a money pit. Was no longer a joy to drive. Hoping that this downsized 4x4 with lockers will fill the bill & have minimal problems, but..... As long as manufacturers keep making engineers design things that fail soon after warranty is up, we are going nowhere fast. Regardless of what you buy.

Re: Bush knife
Holy shit that's bad to the bone & super creative & talented . I suck. 
Re: Bush knife
These 2 Ontario's I have are made from 5160.
After batoning these through multiple logs with knots, they still easily shaved hair.

Re: Bush knife
You makin' that for Paul Bunion ??? 
I have an Ontario knife made by Justin Gingrich, It is a Ranger Signature Series, made from 3/8" S7 tool steel. It is my most expensive knife to date @ $150.00, quite a few years ago. Don't let anyone tell you that thick knives can't be shaving sharp either. That one i have literally can curl a single piece of hair.

Re: Bush knife
BEAUTIFUL work.
You need to make a batch of choppers & etch the "POWER WAGON" logo on it & to get around the "copyright" bullshit, just etch the year of the PW of the people who buy them from you; example: 2008 Power Wagon, for mine. Just a thought, you do great work.
