J. Neilson is a Journeyman
Smith who specializes in traditional forged blades. In May 2007, he
created the Basic Utility Knife.
J. Neilson describes these knives as:
"B.U.K. (Basic Utility Knife)
This is a no-frills, no-nonsense work knife. These B.U.K.'s are forged from 1/8" thick 1080 high carbon steel (6" overall with a 2 3/4" cutting edge) and have a satin finish. The handle scales are 1/8" thick Micarta with stainless steel for one pin and a stainless steel lanyard liner as the second. These knives come with a molded Kydex sheath with a removable/reversible belt loop. This allows the knife to be carried on the right or left side...or remove the loop altogether for pocket or (adding a cord/chain) neck carry."

In September, 2007 I
received my B.U.K. with a Green Canvas Micarta handle.
