Here are a couple of my latest prototypes
Tanto is 3/16" thick 1080 steel, parked
3 7/8" tip to handle 8 3/8"oal
od green G10
I have resisted making tantos for a long time and once I did this one, I started designing about 6 others of all sizes and shapes.
the double edge knife is one I came up with for work. this type of knife will probably replace my "pikal" blade.
Most of the pekiti tersia guys I have talked to just want a double edge knife they can use comfortably in either forward or reverse grip. this blade does that in spades.
I have had guys look at my pikal knife and say "what am I gonna do with that?!" now they will probably bitch that there is no skull crusher on the pommel, but you can't please everybody. Thats what custom orders are for!
Lets call this one the "Spade" for now
1/4" thick 1084 steel parked
3 7/8" blade tip to scale
1/8" thick, medium textured g10 slabs
I made this one extra thin in the handle department to make it more concealable and low profile. Not quite as hand filling and feel good as my normal utility handles, but for a no shit self defense knife this feels really good.
