A couple of pics of a Fairbairn Cobra, finished up today and headed to California tomorrow. 1/4" to 1/8" distal tapered 5160, walnut and aluminum pins. This was a lot of fun.

Thanks. I've been wanting to make one since I found out they existed.

I didn't know Fairbairn made this type of blade either. Might try one myself. Good looking fighter.

I like your version.
I was just reading up on these and found this thread through a web search.
I think I'll do some sketchings and come up with something similar.
I didn't know of these either until reading a thread on fighting knives today.
My grandkids say it's an "Avatar"s blade.
Nice knife.
