Sidearms & Scatterguns I have to show this off (Foundation Stock matching Camp Knife)

[Olen_4504]

Back in January I got the idea that I wanted a "custom" camp knife. I'm also a huge Foundation Stocks fan. So I reached out to the fantastic folks at Foundation and a knife maker in NY and pitched them an idea.

John-Kyle sent the knife maker (Satterfield knives) some scrap micarta that he uses for his stocks to be used for the handles. After it was finished, it was sent back to foundation for the finishing touches to get the dark distressed look.

it's a 4.5" blade made from M4 steel. We picked those particular handle pins out because they resemble the rifling of a barrel.

here are a few pics of the knife throughout the process. I don't have it in hand yet, it's in the mail. Then I can get pictures side by side with my stock.

Personally I like the look of the virgin micarta better without the aging.

But it's YOUR taste that only matters.

Good pairing, and good idea. And GOD BLESS YOU for not putting a choil on the knife!

He did it to match his rifle.

I think it looks pretty cool, looks a lot like wood but it's a helluva lot stronger.

I'm curious to know how that stock has performed for you? Off topic maybe drop me a pm.

It’s worked great for me. It’s my second one and I’m a huge fan. I’ve even converted a few people over to using them after they’ve shot with mine. You really just have to get behind one to feel it.

Very nice man!
