That's the first thing that came to my mind after grinding this one... big and nasty.

This one is a little over a foot long and 1/4" thick, it is chisel ground 5160 Steel. I just ground it out this morning.

I see, I like these long blade profiles.. so whats the handle treatment going to be O_o
 
I'm going to cord wrap it... blood red cord over black leather or stingray skin. I could add some kydex scales first to thicken it up and go black on black or black, red, black. I'm thinking I will keep the forge finish on it and go with something dark. I'm hanging it up for a few days until I get more caught up on orders.

I have a crazy selection of cord, I could even do a bright orange wrap over glow cord or something wild.
 
Dude that is one wicked sticker! A little thick for my tastes but, pretty cool none the less.

Cord wrapped with a paracord "D-guard" would be awesome!

Hmmm, sounds good.. sign me up for one with a 5inch handle and 16inch blade.. O_O actually you have about the length handle space I like on a blade like that when I am fighting bandits and such in the woods...

Hmmmm, 21 inches, I like that. Tactical Wakizashi anyone? This one feels huge at only a little over a foot, a 21 incher would be sweet.

I ave always wanted a cane sword and this blade shape would make a cool one at about 3+ feet. :D

I have to try a cord d-guard one day, that would be cool.
 
I have this knife sitting on a table in my living room next to some petrified dinosaur bone slabs I was saving. I might still cord wrap it but dino bone would be pretty cool...
 
Thanks Six.

This is my longest knife yet, it is kind of scary walking around the house with it! :eek:
