Knife recommendation?

[tyr_shadowblade]

I've been looking for something fairly specific but don't even know where to start, maybe some of you know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction? Assuming this would have to be custom as I've never seen a production knife like this.

Fairly simple concept: Bowie style knife with a sharpened clip and minimal guard... only with a very short blade, like between 3"-5"... anyone ever see anything like that?

Thanks.

Last year Wasty asked me for a pocket bowie. He needed it smaller for edc. He's in Europe. What he needed sounds simular to you? We made his out of HSS but other options are always available....Thread 'Thanks - An EDC laser with amazing ergos' https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/thanks-an-edc-laser-with-amazing-ergos.1970536/

Hit me up in DM's if you wanna talk about it

Maybe a Buck 212? Easy enough to reduce the guard and sharpen the clip.

Blade is 3-5/8”

I think this is best one

There's also the buck 102 woodsman or 117 brahma.

There was a GEC fixed blade with about a 4.5 blade in the exchange, maybe traditional section.

Indeed, as Crag the Brewer has mentioned, I got a "Thanks" and it is all that I wished for.

I use it daily and it's just amazing to cut stuff with. I can highly recommend Crag and his work

 

[scoutingranch]

To collect or throw away. That is the question. This calls for thought. I have both. I buy chinese for throw away. u.s italy and japan for collection.

 

[Arathol]

5" blade, not expensive, can be easily modified to your requirements....

You'd have to sharpen the clip...unless you had him make it that way for you.

Little Gem is very similar to what I'm looking for, would just need to have that clip sharpened... but that style of deep uswept clip is what I'm looking for.

For that style of knife, That's about as Pretty as they come. Perfect.

On the smaller side (3.75"), there is a fixed blade version of the 110, the 101 ?

You could probably sharpen the clip yourself.

There are also the Hinderer Emmet (4", 20CV or O1) and Ranch Bowie (5", 3V or O1).

Cheburkov makes a 5" Hunter(or Hunter-1) both hidden (or full tang) in M390 (second from the left)

There is Tony, as Boru13 mentioned (this one is a little less than 5", in W2 if I remember right)

There is the OKT "little Ferox" in 80crv2 or CPM154 (5")

And Josiah makes a fat one (4.5" x 0.25" in A2), the F4:

For all of these you might have to sharpen the clip yourself.

And then, on the luxury side, there is Carl Colson's Windriver (4"), in different steels.

(I used to look for Bowie shaped fixed blades ....)

It was a very unexpected gift from a member here several years ago at the Blade Show.

 

[J. Doyle]

I've made a few like that.











Ben Seward also makes very nice knives in this category.
