Calling this the Devil's Key. It's mean enough to open the Gates of Hell if you find yourself on the wrong side
This started out as "I wanna make something mean". I think I nailed it! 16 1/8in overall with a 10in blade that is 2.5in wide at it's widest section. Black G10 was used for the scales. The blade is flat ground from 1/4in 5160. I had planned on making this a whole lot rougher but the lines just worked for me and I was able to get nice flat bevels on the recurve shape. The edge has been convexed and the false edge is sharpened too. This is part Bolo,part Bowie, and part Kukri 
Its a biggun for sure but with a few holes in the tang and a full flat grind, it is suprisingly fast in the hand.
