Blind Horse Knives Woodsman Pro

[jcj]

I've had this blade for a few months now and I've had the chance to put it through some hard work. I've been really impressed with this knife from BHK. It carries a pretty hefty price tag by my standards ($150), but it has been a real workhorse. It's made of O1 tool steel and seems to have excellent edge retention. It does require regular upkeep to prevent rust. Mine has formed a nice patina on the blade through some use. No problems with rust since I keep it dry and coated with some light lube when not in use.


Here's a stock photo from BHK:

Here's mine (fresh from a sharpening, cleaning and oiling):

Awsome knife. How do you like the "Dangler Sheath" and "Saber Grind"? BHK's are making high quality knives for a reasonable price IMHO. Their "Dangler Sheath" is heads above others. I have been in contact with BHK's several times about an EDC knife legal limit for TN and they for sure want your business. Good people.

I'm a fan of both. The sheath is one of my favorites. It hangs naturally when kneeling or sitting and makes access to the knife very easy and natural.

Looks like a handy little utility knife which is my personal preference. What's the handle made out of? Looks grippy.

The handle is micarta. Pretty grippy but it also holds on to oil. That's one downside to the knife that I've found. You have to keep the handle cleaned up or the voids in the Micarta fill in and become slick.
