Beautiful, and scary at the same time. Like was mentioned it has got some great lines but like it would be very efficient at what it was designed to do.

Thanks for sharing. It is inspiring.

Sweet! Is that polished damascus or are the lines in the second picture just a photo artifact?
 
I realley should have put spec with the first photo. I hate it when there is a photo with no spec's in the knife book's and so what did I do!!!!
the blade is 480 layers low contrast pattern welded steel,1084-1095-W2.
with a hammon. kind of hrd to see in the pics.
it is right at .400'' thick at my name.
the handle is desert Iron wood over Ti, with mild file work the Ti, is .500''
and there is a syntetic ruby I cut that fits inside the sculpted part of the tang.mouted in the Ti.
Thank you all for looking, and all the nice comments!
 
Gorgeous, man that is awesome, one of the best or the best push knife I have ever seen :thumbup:
 
Very nice, beautiful even.

I tend to not like push daggers but I like this one.

The first photo had me a little concerned about how thin it is where it goes between the fingers but the second photo shows the strength is there.

It looks like it would feel comfortable in the hand while at the same time giving giggly shivers while looking at it.

Well done!

beautiful........
 
I really like push daggers, and this one looks fabulous.

What is the blade length and OAL?

Thanks,
Thor
 
Thor
the oal 5.625 x 4.1" which with my hands, means all you can see with a closed hand is about 3.5" of blade...

Thank's
 
looking good! Some tricky grinding :) :thumbup:
 
Okay..... You asked for it, and I'll give it to you!
First off, It's great work! :thumbup:
Second off, something could usually be better. I'm generally disappointed by the amount of critism that is given when it is asked for. Guys, if someone asks, be honest, and be critical! Here's a maker who does great work, but wants to improve, so let's help him out!
The ONLY flaw that I see in this knife is the screws. IMO, the knife would much, much better with either plain or fancy pins. Screws like that look good on industrial cutting beasts and tactical terrorist killers.
This is just my opinion, but I think it sticks out.
Also,.... I just took a second look, and I think the connection between the blade and the handle is a little to thin for my tastes. I'm sure it will hold up, but my feeling tells me it ought to be thicker, if only for aesthetic purposes.
Also, I can't really tell what is going on in the center with the hole. Could we get a close up shot of that area. Thanks!
FANTASTIC work though, really!
