8.46" west meets east gambler's fighter

[Tony Mont]

Hello everybody!

Lately I've been toying with this style of handle shape (hence the name) and decided to make something west meets east kind of thing. The end result? A lovely classic clip point bowie style with an ito wrap handle. I really like this style of handle because it's pretty much indestructible.

Steel: 1095
Handle: Creme cotton under wrap and synthetic black wrap.

Dimensions:
Overall lenght: 34.5 cm -13.58''
Blade lenght: 21.5cm - 8.46''
Blade widht: 4.5 cm - 1.77''
Blade thickness: 5.5 mm - 0.216''
Handle lenght: 12.5 cm - 4.592''

Flat grind with a convex edge. Antiqued finish with rounded spine. My pictures are quite awful, the video in HD is a better representation. The handle was soaked with west systems g-flex epoxy and it's rock solid.

It comes as is or with a black leather sheath. The sheath is not ready yet, you can choose for either right or left carry.

Price: 150$ as is or 200$ with a sheath

Needs a big ol honkin’ Turks Head…

Just for a contrary perspective: I dislike Turk's head knots. The last thing I want is a hump where my index finger should be.

Now I'll say something we can all agree on: Your knife wielding skills on display at the end of the video are truly impressive.

I love this design!

Thank you guys for your kind words!

On the topic of the turk's head. I tried it initially but on this design, it was just in the way. I think the handle has to be straighter/diffrent.

Indeed my wielding skills are sight to behold.
