IT LIVES! The Outsider ain't just a blueprint.

BwwwwAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Dude, fondling is fine. GUTTING An URSINE?!?

I don't THINK so.

That would be a truly Grizzly misdeed! How can you bear the thought? The problem would be too toothy for any non-utility knife, and it couldn't be swept under the (resulting) rug.

Nice look, Jim. One thing I can't tell from the photo....just how big is this thing. Overall length? Total weight??? Thanks and again, nice job.

Chad Burns
 
Blade is a hair under 9" as measured from the lower guard. Errr...I think. If Harald followed the model. Scott? RadarDude?

JM
 

Overall 13.00"

Blade from tip to inside radius of the lower guard/choil is 8.50"

The weight is not known as I do not have a proper scale however, the balance is superb.

Chad,
This knife is far more than a pretty face. It works great in the hand … can deliver pain from any direction … and is balanced so that its heft works to enhance speed and power. Again, I am far more impressed than I thought I could be.

Jim,
I think you should do a limited run of Outsider so that I can get my own.

 

By the way Jim, the only thing the Outsider has cut since it has been with me is a small patch of hair from my left arm. Very sharp !!! We used my Black Jack stag handle skinner on the Bear ( after Denis shot it that is). I do believe however, that with a good over head smash from the Outsider you could have split that Bear's skull. There really is a tremendous amount of power generated from your blade design. If you would like to try it out (you know … sort of a ritual trial by fire thing) there is at least 2 more Bear living within walking distance of the shop. 1 small one and one large one.

Brought from the murky depths due to mentioning it elsewhere...

Well, you've got my juces flowing. Is this little beauty going to be reproduced for sale, and if so, for how much? And if I thought I had difficulty justifying the Cold Steel Vaquero Grandee to my friends (knives are TOOLS, NOT weapons - NOT!), I think I'll need a little lead time for this one.

Yo, Bob Taylor: wanna license this? Cheap?

In 1095 and Black-T it'd make a nice "forward grip specialist" companion to the Hobbit Warrior, one of the best "reverse grip specialists" around!

Awesome weapon.

Do I detect a paradigm shift from tools which can sometimes be used as weapons to weapons which can sometimes be used as tools?

That's some serious tool!

There's such a critter as a no-holds-barred flat-out-gonzo-streetfighter. Ernie Mayer's Black Cloud Bowie 4/5, REKAT Hobbit Warrior, Mad Dog Voodoo Child are all examples.

"Utility"? They can be "abused" as such...

REKAT has a high percentage of "gonzo fighters" sold versus anything describable as "peaceful use". So does Ernie Mayer, Mad Dog, etc. It's no surprise that the people involved in the designs of those are all top martial artists.

Me, I'm just a beginner...but I've been carrying and researching combat cutlery for a while now. This is my personal take at "the ultimate", at least for me.

Jim March
 
Sigh. No. Hmmm...where is REKAT based out of, anyhow?

Better idea would be to just try and make the Blade show with it...but I don't think I can this year.

<scratches head and ponders>

Might be worth trying though.
