With a 4.5 inch long blade and a 3/16 inch width will this work well for a bushcraft knife? Thanks!

It should work fine,but one word of caution. I bought this for my son and he said after about ten uses the stones seemed worn out. Like the diamonds had come off.

It will not clamp to a knife that is much more than 1/8" thick at the spine.

A 4.5 inch blade is about at the practical limit for a single clamp, otherwise you'll start to get a bit of a weird angle at the tip of the blade. For longer knives, I'll use two clamps along the spine to hold the angle better. Also, buy the silver extra coarse stone to use the first time, you'll save a ton of time getting the angle set up front, and then you're just sharpening to that angle in the future.

Yes, I have sharpened a 3-1/2 inch bladed knife on mine and it worked great. The one issue I can see is that if the knife is too small then you run the risk of scrapping your hand on the stone.

The blade is 12inches long, 3 1/4 inches wide and just under 1/4 inch thick. I don't know which one you're comparing it to but some of the wooden handled versions mount the blade differently. Maybe that accounts for the difference.

Yes. This is a blade for regular use when a larger instrument would not be practical. I have used similar blades during long treks and it functions well. It would not serve for building shelter, or defense. Not a general purpose knife, though. Too small.

I have a Western Bowie knife that measures 9 1/8 x 2 3/8 with very little extra length in the sheeth. I inserted a thin steel rod in the sheeth to see if there was any extra room but there was none. Your knife would probably fit but, depending on the hilt thickness it might bottom out and possibly cut into the bottom. The quality is exceptional as well as the price so you might want to get an extra in case you do eventually cut into the bottom.

None of my knives are that long, but measuring from the back to the front, it's about 16.5 inches long so your knife would probably fit without issue.

We use ours for a 8.5 inch long and 1.75 inch wide at the widest part of the blade. It's a Winchester bowie knife.

Most I've ever cut was around 3/4 inch and it does fine. Hate the handle though. Needs a modified to make it comfortable.

This a nice looking knife I would use as backup knife thick blade long sharp myself not my primary tool I like mine but I don't take mine to the bush. Some with more training might . I an not sure if I am qualified to answer your question

If it has a 7" blade it might. I use mine with a Kabar small heavy bowie which has a 7 1/2" blade that is 1 11/16" wide with a 1/4" backbone....a pretty hefty knife. Since mine came folded in half as well as the knife being so large I had to modify the plastic insert and now my knife fits quite nicely.

If the holes line up it should work but I am sure you'll need to make some modifications on the configuration of the handle. Assuming the Black Jack holes are aligned what is the dimension between them. Also, if the knife you have is an original I'd consider leaving it alone.

Hello, That's a great question. It will fit up to a 2" wide blade. Thank you, Bruce

My short K-bar has a 5 1/4 inch blade. I measure the blade section of the sheath and I don't believe your knife will fit. Perhaps one designed for the full size K-bar would work?

It would work on a larger, thicker blade pocket knife fine. I have a SOG with a 3.5" blade that it works fine on, but I don't know how well it would work on a smaller Old Timer knife blade. Good luck!

The cutting portion of the blade is 6" in length, 2 1/2" in width. Unless the shrubbery is small in area, with thin branches, it is not recommended for that use.

Not quite. I wouldn't use it for a blade longer than 7.5". 8" will cut the stitching at the bottom, but I suppose if one were to stitch it so that area was left unstitched it might work. At least the tip of the knife, if the blade is no more than 8", won't protrude.

To be exact, it's 3/16 inch. It's a very good width for chopping and cutting. This is the standard and often preferred thickness for a blade of this size and function.
