I think it might perform well, if it had an edge
Looking forward to the outcome on this one.
I love gadgets.

New pic added the blade is ground heat treated and a start on the grips.
Cheers Paul.

Point taken JCA mine has a flat 01 steel butt cap and i am making it also as a hollow handle style of knife, i think there will be some differences on mine. Time will tell.
Cheers Paul.

I finished a hidden tang version of the same concept last month. There was quite a bit of feedback on the Wilderness & Survival Skills subforum. Check it out here.
