Rake aboot 4,929 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 How do you find that curved edge for working ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnight 657 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 spot on ,its thought out mate . point for penatration but turns up for skinning (stops you splitting the hide) curve belly for skinning . out ward curve at the recasso (closest point to the handle) for detail work , carving, jointing legs rib cage etc. the area between the low belly and recaso its straight enough for chopping if you wanted to make a fire , hide for pigeons, or a walking stick. im a trained butcher and slaughter man , and was taught to use differant points of the blade with controll to not dull impoirtant cutting edges . if you ask any butcher they know to use the recaso area for things that will dull a blade like wood or direct bone contact even string. you sacrifice that area to keep your cutting areas sharp . no knife can do it all but a well thought out one can do alot !! i know we all see things differantly and thank god but i dont hold with most knife makers ideas or styles . im not after funky shapes , but form and function , if that ends up looking funky .. we are on a winner ! if you ever order a custom knife demand that the maker listens to your needs and a good one would measure your hand fist and fingers ! before anythiong else . all the best . matt. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
