New knife

BladeboBaggins · Jul 8, 2012

It's been awhile since I posted. I have been working on getting better and trying to make a better knife. This is a single bevel with a combo recurve/tanto blade. It is 1084 and I home treated it. The handles are home made My-Carta. The blade is powder coated with a Matte black.

I have listened and tried to make improvements based on your feedback and suggestions, please let me have them again.

Thanks for looking and any comments.

Nice. I like how it transitions from curvy to angular.

Interesting, I don't think I've seen a blade shape quite like that before. This could just be me, but does the handle seem a little short? What is the overall length?
Cheers

kristoffsky - Thanks

Ozark - 11" overall 6.5" of blade and 4.5" inches of handle. Also, I know I have seen the blade shape somewhere and it stuck in my head, I just dont know where at...

I like it. It is just different. Some things are boring or ugly, but this is neither. Well done.

Looks awesome

Thanks guys. Other than the handle is freakishly small, anything else?

I guess not. Thanks for looking and thanks for putting up so much valuable info on this website for the novice to use.

I think the styling and finish both look very good ! Frank

I love it! Especially the blade shape/design. The handle doesn't look freakishly small, but just a bit undersized. Maybe stretch it another inch if you make another one like it.

Thanks Broomhead, I was being a wise guy with the freakishly small comment. I have started a similar design and did stretch the handle based on the feedback.
