Hello All,
We've been pretty busy up here on the hill but, I had a knife I wanted to try out. This is probably as close to a tactical design as I've done to date. The blade has a spine just over 1/8" thick with a full taper to the edge and tip, making for a tough little knife with a vicious edge. Whether as an emergency knife for cutting rope or belts, or as a personal defense piece...I'm thinking this will do the job. I hope you like it.
Damascus-Rosewood Hawkbill
This knife has a 3 1/4" "deep-hawkbill" style blade (7 1/2" total length) of 200 layer damascus (1084/15N20). The handle is East Indian Rosewood with a guard/pin of nickle-silver, a throat of Pink Conch Shell and a red spacer. The knife is shown with a tooled leather pouch sheath by Tess.
