Moose Mountain-5 in 0.200" 1084, white oak and black G10. Edge at 61Rc, differentially tempered spine. Symmetrical 4.937" of blade and handle. Gently tapered tang, with balance at the first finger. This is a mighty knife.

Mountain Knife in A2 and Black/Toxic micarta
Think you’re ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? I know someone who will be!
This Mountain Knife is 110% size, 5/32″ of A2 tool steel, sporting double-black linen micarta over toxic G10 liners. While it’s not a long knife at 3.75″ of blade, it’s nearly 1.5″ wide at the plunge, and very solid in the hand.
Quench-Finish Harpoon Survival Knife in 1084
This knife was a collaborative effort with my 17yo cousin, who picked the pattern and assisted in profiling and heat-treating over the holidays, for his 18th birthday present. 5.125″ harpoon blade, as-quenched, fully hardened halfway down the tang, then differentially tempered for a super-tough blade, with an edge at ~60HRc. Bolster is brass from the E/V Nautilus original rudder bearing assembly, replaced in 2013.
American Leuku
The knife you pick when you can’t decide between an axe and a blade. 7″ of 0.200″ 1084, hickory axe handle handle, micarta bolster. Belt finished. It’s working title was “American Leuku”:
115% Moose Mountain 5
This is a burly 5″ version of the Mountain Knife in 0.200″ 1084 with double-black linen micarta over toxic green G10. Loved the handle on this one.
