good looking blade

 

Yep, fantastic looking blade. Knives are all fancy nowadays, but that is probably what 95% of bush/functional blades looked like 100 years ago.

 

It's a good looking knifeI have lot long bought my own svord 18th CTK. I really like the profile. I have a couple of vintage carbon steel blades of similar design and this one hooked me. How do you like using yours? What do you think of the handle? I don't have large hands but I have found that the handle for me is far too small with a LOT of hot spots (mentioned this to Svord and they didn't know what I was talking about which seems strange for a knife maker).

 

Yes, the handle is on the small side, I don't know if that's a historical thing, but it wouldn't hurt to make it a little longer and more rounded, as you say it's not the most comfortable.

 

Amazing looking knife you have there Timcan! Very practical and useful. 🙂
