1/4 inch 1075. 17 inch OAL, 11 inch blade. Combo hollow and flat grinds.

I haven't decided on a handle material yet but this thing needs a name!

Comments appreciated even if you don't have a name suggestion.

Ignore the uninspiring surroundings! it was too cold to set up my lightbox in the garage.

I'm thinking the name Nightmare or Big Chunk or something along that lines :)

If my name wins I get the chopper? I'm a thinking burlap micarta or brown G10 will fit the look. :)
 
Iron Rhino.

I can't say much as to handle mats, although some black g10 or micarta would be the tits, especially if it had a really chunky texturing to it.

Either way, this might be one of the single most interesting things I have ever seen in my life. This knife is so beautifully mean looking. If you made this, you need to make more, cause you will sell at least one. If you got someone else to make it, they need to make more, cause they will sell at least one.

We need more pics of this beauty. Many more. Many, many, many more.
 
That thing is wild!
I like "iron rhino" that DerekH suggested. The front tip looks like a rhino horn.
 
Seriously, what do we need to do to get this beauty into my hands?
 
THE DOMINATOR, its the only name that does it justice, awesome work bro shes beautiful, just about bought a tear to my eye when I saw her
 
narf. troz. poit. wow. that's some slayer beast there. yar.
 
Dude, let me know how much is one with black G10 and kydex no molle :)

Why 1075 steel? Could you make one in 1095 and with a hamon like the one in the picture?

:)
 
Deinonychus! it means terrible claw

Or, Baryonyx, mean: Heavy claw

Deinodon, terrible tooth

Atrox, latin for terrible

Those are some ideas that popped into my head as a fitting name for that wickedly mean looking blade!
 
I used 1075/1080 for the extra toughness, I could make one out of 1095 but I didn't have any sitting around. The blade will bend past 45 degrees without taking a set and the egde held up fine through 2x4 chopping, multiple cardboard boxes and hacking through a brass rod a few times.
 
I'll have to wait out this one, too many purchases this week :)

I'll keep an eye out for ur work :)
