Modified Cattaraugus 225Q

  • This is my modified Cattaraugus 225Q; when i got it for cheap it was missing part of it's tip and had no sheath, so i decided to modify the blade as well as the handle.
    I changed the grind from a saber flat to a saber hollow with a zero edge with the help of my trusted Tormek T7 wetgrinder, and then applied a convex microbevel of around 35/40-ish degrees inclusive with the help of a 6 micron diamond paste loaded strop.
    Also ground a new point with a bit of a bowie shape.
    The 1095 steel holds a shaving sharp edge for quite some time and doesn't buckle even when chopping wood.
    The leather handle was shaped to my liking with sandpaper and i gave it a few coats of Nikwax for protection.
    It's currently my most used knife for daytrips in the forest as it cuts wood extremely well.
