New knife

[Dawg2019]

My father and I have always been big fans of Canadian Belt knives when it comes to skinning game. We have had a couple over the years dating back to one purchased by my grand father. Well, my dads birthday is coming up and I found a local custom knife maker to make one for him. I was able to have input on the blade shape, handle material, tang spacer color even the handle pin material. I am very pleased with the way the knife turned out and will likely be getting one for myself here shortly.

My first “good” knife was a Canadian Belt Knife. I was 18 and bought it at the factory in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Think i paid $16. Fortunately, I still have it.

Good on you for having such a beautiful version of it made for your father.

Here is the bladesmith report on the knife with all the details.

Very nice but a slightly different blade shape to the belt knife.
Why not contact Grohman in Nova Scotia and get them to do a custom belt knife. You can pick the scales, pins and everything else. You can have your choice of carbon steel or stainless along with flat grind or the other grind. Some of the scale material is real fancy.
I got mine with a carbon blade flat grind. Wickedly sharp and easy to touch up.

Bottom cold steel knock off
Chalk and cheese. The cold steel isn't a bad BUDGET knife but can't hold a candle to the real grohmam.
