I asked Tad if he would do a 'PootsieSamurai' style knife....he did and here it is. 9" W2 blade, sharp up and down, along with a wrought guard, Exhibition Grade stabilized Turkish Walnut.....14 1/4" OAL. :cool:

The Hamon is wonderful, the balance and feel is as fine as any, I couldn't have asked for anymore.....Tad's leather, too. :)

It really is as sharp as it looks....and as pointy, too....true needle-like.

:eek: What a great profile! I really like the long, gradual and continuous belly it has. Forged flats, wrought iron, hamon and beautiful wood, I say, what's not to like about it? :) That's a mean lookin tip too!

Really like Tad's work.

That is a wicked blade profile. It definitely says "I'm not really about chopping 2 by 4s or clearing trails." Lean and mean.
 
All business, top and bottom. Should get anyone's attention if they are caught staring down it's spine. Wonderful Lynch piece. Congrats!

That knife is intimidating :eek:

The blade shape and general "darkness" about it combine to give it a personality that's unique and quite...intimidating (can't come up with another word!). Congrats, Dudley!!! I really like it a whole lot :thumbup:
 
Congrats Dudley, always have loved Tad's fighters. This one looks very sinister.
 
Nice score Dudley The lines on the blade really work well on this knife the deep clip with just a splash of rough forging nice
 
Love how this one came out. Looks great. It's a superb fighter. The belly is always what I look for on a fighter, subtle as it is here. For me I just love the simple boldness of Tad's hamon, understated but skilfully executed. The balance Tad gets on this is great too and that point really stares you in the face.
 
OOh La La, very sexy in a cool knife sorta way!

Congrats Dudley!

Love all of Tads work...... all of it!
