Hey Guys,This is my Bengal Claw prototype.Since I'm a jewelry modelmaker by trade,I made the proto in sterling silver.


I designed it to fit your middle finger,I'm considering a adjustable finger cradle to accomodate different finger sizes.


I'm looking at making the blade with stainless random damascus steel,And the finger cradle.


I'm hoping to find a maker willing to take on this project,E-mail if interested.I need someone to post the pic,Can anyone help me?

That's quite an interesting design. Is the hole in the handle for the thumb or another finger, or is it just to make a lighter handle? I'd love to see some more pics and good luck with your new design.
 
Both,I put the hole to lighten it knowing the proto would be cast in silver.But at Blade a few guys were using the hole to hold it,If I can get somebody to post the other pics I'll show them.Thanks for looking.
 
I'll host them for you, if Gaben doesnt do it. Looks very interesting, I'd love to see more pics as well.
If you want me to host 'em, lemmie know, MAD_tactical@yahoo.com

I'm assuming this is based on the multiple (4) bladed claw weapons from India, refered to also as Bengal Claws? Very cool.
 
Here are two other pics of the prototype - most cool

I brightened them up for you a little, just so they were easier to see.
 
I was a little confused by the first pic because I didn't know how you were holding it, but now that I've seen the other pictures I can see that that is a sweet little design.

Good work.
