Okay, NOW you're speaking my language sir. Please post specs blade and handle thickness, material, edge geometry, etc...

also, how does it compare in durability to your original blade? This one is very much my type of thing.

Also, shoot me an email with the price and availability as well. Thanks!

* i'd also like to know the overall weight, point of balance, and thickness at the tip.

That's nice.
PLEASE make one without the harpoon blade.

I don't know if it's really a "harpoon" blade,(is that what you would call it) the back is false edged, and what you see in the picture, is just where it ends near the tip. it helps to reinforce the whole tip area, making it very durable.
you may get a better Idea of the blade profile from some of the other pictures we have on facebook. thanks for looking.

If you wanted we can always take the false edge all the way out to the tip, it would just be more fragile.
 
I'm with him, specs, hardness, etc, etc. Not sure about that handle arrangement yet, but not throwing rocks.

I could really see a set of these, if reasonable.

One more time
 
I dont' have it in front of me so I'll try to remember it all.
We are using 5160 steel, 5/16in. thick X 2in wide at the guard.
the blade is 1 1/2in wide, fully zero ground with a false edged back. the tip is left full width, to add strength.
the handle is Tan (kind of a sand color) G-10 with black stainless hardware
the whole blade is through hardened for extreme toughness.
I think the balance point was about 2 1/2 or 3in from the guard, but I am not sure I am remembering that right.
these run about a $1000.00, but i will include a Kydex sheath and shipping for that price.
I haven't posted a sale thread yet, because all the ones I have are spoken for. I should have more in 3-4 weeks. If anyone wants there name on the list, let me know. thanks
 
Wouldn't mind another pic to see how the blade/handle ratio is. Looks pretty darn cool though. I like that a lot more than your other blade.
 
Please please please do a saber next. I want to see your interpretation of one. Something with a "hatchet point." :D
