I never post here but the just wanted to share a friend's design that I recently finished. It's a prototype and was supposed to be cerakoted but time constraints didn't allow it so fit and finish are lacking. It's 1/4" A2 with a deep hollow ground channel in the handle, black and green linen micarta, and Corby bolts. It was designed by a Kali practitioner and obviously not meant to be very utilitarian. The middle section aids in deflection and trapping. Sheath is kydex with a tab safety feature inspired by tracker Dan's work. May change the sheath a bit to allow for deployment from either top or bottom of handle. Currently deployment is from top of handle. Its a prototype so much can change in the next one. Please excuse the cell phone pics.

Well it's certainly a very well done piece. Looks like it belongs in a good sci fi movie! What are the measurements and weight?
 
To go along with the personality of this (hawk?), a crushing or cutting type pommel would look pretty sweet on this.
 
It's about 13" in length and head is about maybe 7" tip to spike. Haven't weighed it yet but I'll do it later. I agree on the pommel but the designer had something else in mind.
 
Its a user to test and tweak the design. There is already 2 variations in the works. Thanks for checking it out guys.
 
Hi Jim,

Awesome work. Certainly hope to see more variations of this from you.

It's very close to Igorot's , the head-hunting axe of Mabuhayland.
