I made a mall ninja knife :)

I know, I didn't put in any serrations; I'm not really equipped for those. But I baked on a textured camo job, and cord wrapped the handle. I'm calling this one the "Rank and File Mall Ninja Spec Ops Knife."

Just for fun, you know?

I was somewhat limited in how wide I could make it. Plus I was experimenting with a deep drop point. And it's DEFINITELY not for food. I'm not 100% on how well the camo would hold up cutting up food.
 
What?!?! No skullcrusher pommel?...


No death-dealer guthook point?....


No laser guided eviscerator serrations?...


Shame on you, that's not a mall ninja knife at all... :D
 
I think I spoke as to the serrations. Ditto for the guthook. But if you look closely, it does have a nice sharp point hiding under the cord for the pommel. Good for skull crushing.

Stabman, what kind of epoxy are we talking about here? I did epoxy the cord on, but I didn't soak the cord.
 
How about the specs. and how you made it - exactly. Nice first try - looks like it will work! :thumbup:

I'd like to know more about sustances for coating paracord on my wrapped small blades. Probably clear stuff.
 
Doesn't look like a mall ninja knife at all! Looks very usable (that's a good thing). Nice work.
 
Not exactly my first try. Ground this one out of a file using the stock removal method. It's a high flat ground blade, 40 degree bevel on the edge. Not sure what else to say other than that. I'm a lot happier with the steel in Nicholson files though; this is a Pittsburgh file, and I don't know what the steel is. It holds an edge reasonably well, but the HT is a bit more brittle than I'd like. They make pretty decent throwing knives, if you can get the balance right, but not so good at making sharpened prybars.

I've used 1 hour cure time epoxy, as that's the longest cure time they had at any hardware stores around here.
I also have used ployurethane spray to coat it after to give even more sealing of any gaps.:)

I just shove the cord around in the epoxy for a few minutes, mushing it around to grab up more poxy. Then I wrap it.
I then use paper towels to rub off the excess epoxy (of which there's usually plenty); this also seems to help smooth it into any cracks a bit more.
Handles have held up good so far.
 
Good question. It's a Pittsburgh file from Harbor Freight. I'm not sure what the steel is, which is part of why I probably won't use those again. They are 4 times cheaper than Nicholson ones though.
