"Knord",... "Knife/Sword".

Here's a new one with a 15 inch blade, over 21 inches OAL, forged from 7/8ths round W2.

That thing is pretty awesome and badass, or is it "awe-ass". Really, I love the flow of that knife.

I like it, the blade shape looks like a mix of kukri and clip point. I bet it's a great cutter/chopper.
 
I am not sure I have ever seen a Tai Goo knife I did not like :D

"Awesome" is about all I can think of. :D
 
OH GOOD LORD!!!

It looks just like a native "pinuti" sword. I could just imagine swinging that thing in practice!
 
Thanks!

Xaman, the blade has a distal taper from about 3/8 inches down to about 3/16 at the sweet spot.
 
Nice work Tai!:thumbup:

well, you are close...i actually requested for this shape and it is based on an antique bolo. Tai was kind enough to actually accomodate my needs for my FMA practice. it's really rare that Tai would even accept a custom order not of his design. (at least from my experience) but he has done so for me (2x).

he has a soft heart, and affinity for this sort of stuff.

thanks Tai...another keeper. lets see the scabbard! :):thumbup:

Good for you :thumbup:

I kept checking his website, hoping that MAYBE it would show up on the available page :D
 
Now that's what I call Forging! Notice how nice and true everything is in the blade, tang, and ferrel.

Niceley done Tai!

This was a fun project! Thanks Saint O'K. :)

I should have the scabbard finished today... maybe get some pix soon, after the sealers dry.
