Heavy bush knives

They're certainly beefy that lot. Looking forward to seeing them finished.

got a bit more hand sanding to do to get everything proper. Once I get the assorted plunge and spine lines good, and have done the 400 grit, then I'll use a belt at 600 grit, then clean it up with hand rubbing a "soft" 400 (my klingspor 400 seems rougher than my gator 400), then 600 and then hand rub scotch brite until I'm happy with the satin. Probably be faster if i got some scotch brite belts, but there's some cool aspects to hand rubbing.

The handle scales are cut but not finished, what I'll do on a blade like this is get them fitted, figure out the butt linesfor the exposed tang and lanyard hole, then finish the exposed tang, add a few deeper scratches to the unexposed tang, epoxy and then finish.

Just curious, did your buyer say what environment he planned on using these in?

Zombie infested city streets?

From the title of this thread I was expecting something like this (been spending too much time in W&C I guess )

But seriously those look like awesome brutes, can't wait to see the final outcome.

They look great so far. Remind me of a Scottish Dirk.

I mean that in a good way....
