How simple can a knife be? Lee started making really simple blades a long time ago and every now and then finds its cool to revisit the concept . These bare… ‘bear’ necessity knives are hand forged from 5x13mm flat bar 80CRV2. It all becomes an exercise in forging flat and doing minimal grinding but still being left with a functional blade.
The Bear is ideal for the wild food forager or mushroom hunter, & is also awesome for opening packages & letter cutting things in the workshop.
Blade: 80-CRV2 high carbon steel, hollow grind
Handle: What you see is what you get…. all steel
Sheath: Hand stitched, vegetable tanned leather
