Bull Shark - Black/OD

[Toni Oostendorp]

Today I finished a Bull Shark M. Black GunKote coating and OD green micarta grip. Steel is CruForge V this time, an excellent steel for a user in my opinion.

Ingredients of the steel:

C: 1.05
Cr: 0.50
V: 0.75
M: 0.75

Here are some pictures:

[Murphys Law]

Lovin' it!
Really cool!

 

[Txknifefan]

That looks awesome, I like it!

cruforgeV is awesome in my experience, (Matt Gregory's bowie) and that design and materials choice combo is #*$%!^& badass.
Looks about perfect in form and function.

First I thought it was an Andrew jordan knife! But nevertheless nice looking knife!

 

[David Sharp]

That's fantastic!!! How is the pommel/butt plate attached?

 

[tedinatl]

Man, that design is bad@$$!!! Excellently executed!

He David,

Here's a picture, that's easier for me to explain.

this picture is one of the earliest prototypes, but you can really see how the knife is constructed.

Solid as hell...Bad azz.

The first prototypes had a handle that was made out of a full block of rubber. Fit and finish was very difficult so I changed it to two pieces of micarta with rubber liners in between. Sometimes I change the rubber for G10 when someone wants a knife that jumps out.

here are some examples:

Rubber

Orange G10

Oh man, that last one is super cool... love how that orange just pops! Very cool and practical too if you ever drop the thing in the bush.

Very nice, Toni. Did you have fun hand sanding that CruForgeV? ;-)

I'd LOVE to have one of these knives!!! Looks like one heck'ova user to me! Drop me a PM or email and let me know how much $$ to get one made or purchase if you would. :thumbup:

 

[T.K.C.]

That is a GREAT looking knife!!

One of these days, I AM going to get a knife from you!

Let's say CruForge is "special"....

 

[OpKey]

Wow. That looks amazing. I want it so bad, but I don't even want to see how much it costs. 2012 brought too many good things, too many must buys.

 

[PropThePolecat]

It looks wicked! That knife just made my list.

Toni, do you have a comparison pic of the S, M and L next to each other? Ive looked around the internet for comparison pictures and in-hand pics, but i couldnt find any. I'd like to get an idea of relative size and proportions. Unfortunately, there arent any video on YouTube either.
