This is my version of a "Combat Recurve" design. It is my second recurve I've done. Blade is 154CM 3 1/2" long with thumb grooves and false edge. Handle is black linen micarta 4 1/2" long with corby screws. I really like this knife. It has good balance and feels good in my hand. It is my most complr=ex grind so far and I like it. I have a second one I'm working on now. Initially I was going to bead blast the whole thing, but the grinds turned out so good I had to polish it. Caution there are 6 pics. I wanted to show as much detail as I could.

That looks beautiful!
Very clean and crisp!!
great looking recurve...you going to keep it for yourself? :)
 
I don't know what your prices and availablity are like but I would be interested in talking to you about a knife similar to that? Above looks like ktk is interested also.

It reminds me of my favorite folder the BM Skirmish only in a fixed blade.


Oh I should ask, do you make sheaths for your knives? Kydex or leather?

Let me know by email plz :D
 
Love that one too. I really like how the whole knife has a curve to the back of it. Looks like it would handle great.

Your work is inspiring.
