More SERE design work

[Bill Siegle]

Here’s a couple SERE models I’m playing with. One with handle grooves that feel like finger grooves but without any of the negative aspects they can have on grip positions. The othe unfinished one is a shorter variant I’m looking forward to trying out once it’s finished. It’s a more compact sized blade for ease of carry at about. 6.5in blade.

I really like the handle scales!

 

[Leviathan Arms]

Both are sweet but I’m definitely feeling that smaller model. .25 or .2 stock?

 

[Bill Siegle]

These are both 1/4in but when I restock materials I’m going to give the shorter version a try in .200 5160.

 

[AntDog]

If you make an even shorter one (~4” blade) I’ll be all over it, especially in .200 or thinner.

These are awesome, Bill.

Finished the little one up today! I’m very pleased with how it turned out! It’s a nice compact but not small sized blade at 6.5in of blade. The larger one has an 8.25in blade. I’m also really loving the handle shape and grooves! Nice and secure but not aggressive to the hands.

BOTH are awesome, but I am leaning towards the bigger one for an outdoor blade. Now, IF there was a 4.5" to 5" one for LBE carry, THAT would be a big winner.

 

[Private Klink]

I love the looks of that bigger blade.

I added a larger version to the mix! Here’s three just out of the shop! The big guy has a 10 1/8in blade

Picked up a load of steel today and cut these out

I also played with some texture on the handle. I’m really digging how it feels! The random cuts of the texturing are smooth and give a great purchase on the handle.

 

[Rescue Mike]

Bill, I might have to have one of those!

 

[The Zieg]

I love how the 10" Blade accentuates the recurve and forward, yataghan-esque, profile. Beautiful!

Added two more to the batch this morning! Just wasting time in the shop on a Saturday

 

[Bill Siegle]

Finished up the smallest one so far at 5 1/8in of blade and 9 5/16in overall. This one received a textured handle too.
