Hankins "Radical ReCurve"

[Robert Hankins]

Haven't posted here in a while, wanted to share a really fun design.
My Radical ReCurve Fighter, Style influence courtesy Uncle Bill
Made by Blinker AKA Robert Hankins
Originally designed this as my carry knife but you know how that goes!
Blade is just right for slicing and back cut. Has already drawn blood Mine!
12 5/8" OAL blade is 7 1/2" tip to front of scales. Made from 3/16" 5160 which has been beadblasted and blued, dyed Linen Micarta slabs with a full convex double edge. Shaving sharp on both edges with Brass tubing pins. Definetly a slicer and dicer with the great design influence from the "Uncle Bill Especial" Khukri by Himalayan Imports with permission of Uncle Bill.

Imagine it is safe to post as this one is going to China in a week or so.

Wicked! I like it. Robert, you did a great job with that handle and the blade is just plain mean looking.

 

[Robert Hankins]

Keith thanks!
This is one of those blades you hate to see leave. I have a thing for blades that will look better after they have had some use and gain more character. This is one that was easy to become attached too. Good thing I kept the pattern If/when I do another it will be riding between the console and passenger seat in its place.

Oh Man... That is indeed the stuff of nightmares. In a good way of course. It has a taste of "fantasy knife" but of course I can see all the full-on tactical practical features in it. Another good one. Love the lines on that blade. Jason.
