These are my last knives for the Gembloux show (Belgium).
They are part of a tactical series Im working on. Blades are made out of O1 carbon steel, selectively hardened. Gunkote OD-green coating for the blade and Black for the guard and pommel (which are also made out of O1 and hardened. So you can use the pommel to hit something) The grip I made out of black canvas micarta which is blasted. Thats why it has this grayish colour which is now black again.
The knives are designed to have to points centred. I like this a lot, helps in many tasks The grip and metal is grooved all over the give some extra grip when needed. The grip is pinned, peened and glued, so it wont come loose easily.
The sheath is made by Spec-Ops (ACU). A very good sheath in my view with lots of features and carrying options. 1000D Cordura doesnt hurt either.
So here are some pics:
