The "Grim Reaper" is a particularly serious push dagger, a stylized and finely finished version of the push/punch dagger I have sent to US Army soldiers overseas for combat operations and defense. The extra long blade was requested by combat servicemen for punching through many layers and still delivering decisive force. The steel is oil-hardening high carbon alloy tool steel, a very serviceable razor keen edge holding knife steel that takes a beautiful mirror polish and a rich, deep professional hot blue. The bluing is both cosmetic and tactical, inhibiting corrosion and maintaining stealth by reducing glare. This particular Reaper has a milled slot down the spine of the blade, .375" at its widest and 3.1875" long, for aesthetic appeal and to reduce spine weight. The knife has full filework. The maximum thickness at the ricasso is .3125," making this a meaty, strong knife. The hollow grinds are accomplished beautifully with a 3" contact wheel for tremendous thickness at the spine, terminating at a devastatingly thin edge. I have hand-engraved fine flourishes on the bolster faces, which feature dovetails embracing a finely polished dark granite gemstone handle. The sheath has two inlays of cobra skin into 9-10 oz. leather shoulder, lacquered and sealed and stitched together with polyester sinew. The knife is retained with a split snap-strap, highlighting the gem handle.

Price: $775.00

Thank you, sir. Perhaps there are other unrestricted types of fine knives you could receive? I make over 300 styles. Please take a look at my website, they're all listed there.

Cheers, mate!

Thanks, Reid. I also have a tactical version, the one that Army soldiers have designed and used in combat. Here is a picture of one:

It's 5" blade of bead blasted O-1 high tungsten vanadium tool steel is hollow ground with a 3" contact wheel to preserve spine strength. The blued steel is diamond engraved with a reaper and sickle. The bolsters are blued nickel silver, the handle scales are micarta phenolic. The sheath is kydex over an aluminum frame with a leather safety strap and nickel plated steel belt clip. This is a serious real combat knife, not just an art piece.

That is one nice push dagger. :thumbup: The cobra skin is a nice touch too, it seems somehow very appropriate.

Jay...nice knife and I love the name!!

That sheath is stunning!! Who did it for you??

Kudos!

Leatherface, I make all my own sheaths, stands, cases, do all my own engraving; absolutely nothing is farmed out. I believe sheath making is part of this tradecraft and I love it! Take a look at my "Sheaths" page here, for dozens of examples of my work.

Thanks,
Jay
 
Jay,
Took a look at your sheaths page...that is also some impressive work!!!!

I like your idea of using other materials for the welt instead of just plain leather...I am working on going to plastic for my welts in the near future

Again great work!!!
 
Makes me wanna go gold, sell all my production blades and become a costoms snob. :D

Nice stuff!
