Let's see some Survival knife concepts !!!

[Horn Dog]

In reality, a machete and a SAK, would be my choice, but this convexed Busse Skinny ASH-1 would do.

 

[JK Knives]

What is the blade length on this knife?

The blade is 4 3/4" long, 3/16" thick. Overall length is 9 1/2".

William - The bottom one in your fist photo - is that a Matt Roberts #2? I just got some micarta in for my blade blank. That'll be a fun project. I like the heft of it already.

Who did the one in the second shot?

 

[IH8U]

Here is one I drew up before I started making.

I had Stephan Fowler make it up for me and it turned out to be a popular design for him and he has since made about a half dozen on them.

I have since changed my needs a bit and have come up with a few designs of my own.

I love the look of this one, great design !!!! Your knives ain't too shabby either !:thumbup:

 

[Fiddleback]

Yes. I like that one you had Stephen make. I wanna make one. Thats cool.

I recently drew up a chopper I'm gonna make.

Bow Legged Chopper. Its gonna start as a 3" wide 1/4" thick X 15" long chunk of 5160.

That thing's a beast, Andy. I want it.

 

[Mack]

This design in 3/32 1095 and I'd have the kitchen knife I've been wanting!

It was cool seeing all the Siegle knives...big and small...the bigger ones made the Camp Tramp look petite.

William - thank you for the assistance!

I keep hearing about Mr. Siegle, and seeing his excellent work. Might have to look him up for an order.

 

[Mentor]

Bow Legged Chopper. Its gonna start as a 3" wide 1/4" thick X 15" long chunk of 5160.

I really like that one Fiddleback! I can imagine a double sheath set-up with a side pouch for an original Bow Legged Joe.

Very cool!

All the best,

- Mike

Some great designs....so what are we saying is an ideal size for a blade and what is an ideal size for a handle ? Please include thicknesses !!!!

 

[shunsui]

A little size comparison. Numbers are roughly tip to handle.

 

[alex shunnarah]

this is my version of a survival knife! 1/4 inch thick stainless blade, cord wraped handle really comfortable grip.

 

[DPKnives]

Hand made from 1/4" 1075 with a 9" blade and it is 15" over all. Full tang, full flat ground. The handles are Ecuadorian Monterillo with stainless tubes. I used it before I got it completely done and it is just wild how well it chops. The next one I am grinding (tonight) will be a clip point. This one is AWESOME Doug

Yep, that looks like it will get the job done.

I like the no frills, no choil, no ricasso, and especially the grain showing in the handle.

 

[DPKnives]

Batoned in 3 hits

Just chopping through

Ramm9 Thanks for the compliments as well. Doug
