(You will also see my homebuilt elevator there.)

The knife:

I bought it about 20 years ago in Virginia from a blacksmith who was retired as a football player with the Chargers.

Specs: 5" blade and 5" handle. Made of 5/8" elevator cable. He told me that is is H-10 steel.


This is the kind of blade/handle that I want to make. It is very sharp and it always gets a lot of compliments. Even the balance is good. However, I do not really like the shape of the blade with its curve etc.
