I am also one who does not like bulky things in my hose. So I decided that it was time to start forging. I wanted to create sgeanan as comfortable as possible. My goal was l to make a reasonable, real knife that can be used for cutting rope,dressing a grouse, gralloching a deer, or slicing some apples. I want them to be working, functional yet somewhat traditional knives for folks that really use them. Meanwhile I have been experimenting with the craft.
Looks to me like your experiments are working well. Nice!
