The knife was made by my friend, SongRit Mawan. He is arguably one of the most talent maker here.


This was inspired from Winkler's belt knife but the overall shape has been modified significantly.

Overall: 9"
Blade: 4"
The blade got distal tapering to the tip with taper tang.
Micarta handle with black G10 spacer.

Steel is 0.275" CPM-3V
I shipped these knives to Peters for HT with the latest low tempering protocol to 61HRC.

Thanks for looking!

Those look great! It might be time for you to get a knifemaker's membership on here and sell some of your creations!
 
that's sweet. The handle looks like it needs a little more jazz, though, imo

No bloodline either... stronger spine, fighters need them.

Those are not "Blood Grooves". They decrease weight of the blade without sacrificing strength.

Those are fine looking blades. A bit more handle contouring would make them "pop" even more

wasn't suggesting that the profile of the handle should be changed, just that a little contouring or milling might bring it up to the same level as the blade, if that makes sense

I kidding with the profile... I did it to extremes. Meant to be a joke.


Adam,

Grooves like that, whatever you call them, in any pressure vessel made anywhere in the world would immediately constitute instant failure to pass any country's pressure vessel Standards. It would simply NOT be allowed to operate, be it a massive boiler or a 1 liter canister of gas. So how can you sit there and say it does NOT weaken the knife? I've heard a lot of things from you in the past that weren't quite right, I'll add this to the list.
 
It's called a fuller. And that knife isn't compromised a freaking IOTA because of a fuller. Read more and post less.

Oh and on topic, HOT DAMN that's purdy! I want one.
 
Shiny,

You should read more about fullers, or as they're called in other fields of engineering, machined grooves, in text that is written specifically on that subject... and by all means post as much as you want.

The mere notion that reducing the thickness of any steel does NOT weaken it in that area is simply NONSENSE. Essentially it boils done to arithmetic.
 
I am a cnc programmer/machinist who works with engineers every day. I literally am involved in every aspect of completely fabricating a wide variety of things.

Quit crapping in this thread with all your *knowledge* of what a knife should be.

Then you are a crappy programmer/machinist. Stop showing your incompetence.

And stop lying... I did not crap on anything herein... others did, and you too.
 
This is my last post addressing you.

This knife is .275 thou thick cpm 3v, the light fuller is so insignificant in terms of reducing strength it is shear stupidity to think it renders the knife weak for fighting. You have got to be kidding me!

.275 thou thick cpm 3v at 61hrc! Get a clue guy.

The mere fact that you've now stated that the fuller is so "insignificant" clearly implies that it does have SIGNIFICANCE. You've just proven yourself to be of DOUBLE STANDARD.

Check out Youtube and see how fullers make a blade crumble when struck hard with another metallic object. Youtube has lots of such videos. A strong chopper, sword, crowbar and the like can easily strike a knife VERY HARD on its back/spine.

I rest my case.
