Looking for a maker interested in making a pair of blades. One is fairly straightforward, the other may be a bit more difficult.
Both 1/8 to 5/32 thick. Stainless steel - treated 58-60 Rockwell.
A 5.5' blade with an OAL of 10'. Spearpoint with a tip right in line with the center of the handle. Flat grind. A slight swell mid-palm on the handle with a dip in front and behind for comfortable grip. Geometry based integral guard. No choil. Micarta or paracord wrapped handles. The end needs to be rounded, no sharp or uncomfortable pointy parts on the handle!
A lot of similarity - no choil, paracord or micarta, intregral guard, swell mid palm and groove for index finger w/ smaller groove for lower fingers. A half "leaf" such that the blades point is slightly lower than the bottom of the handle. Think of a Khukuri with a very subtle angle. Only half leaf because the back should be flat so it comes to a very sharp point. 8.5 OAL w/ 4.5 inch blade. Flat grind.
Also willing to discuss thicker (3/16th) with swedge grinds. Shoot me an email, let me know what you think, and we'll get to drawing or otherwise refining. Very appreciated and looking forward to hearing from you.
