The Tradesman is a bushcraft knife inspired by the fur-trade knives brought to North America by it's early explorers. This knife has a relatively thin and constantly upward-curving edge, making it an excellent slicer. The fine tip allows for intricate woodworking. This is essentially a camp kitchen knife and bushcraft knife hybrid, excelling at the job whether you're making a bow-drill set, preparing a stew, processing firewood, butchering game, or building a shelter.
This particular build is based off of the Tradesman Joe Robinet has been using, with similar specifications. But this one has straight-grain ironwood instead of burl, does not have a tapered tang, and has 1/16 inch orange g10 liners instead of 1/8.
