Re-defining the brick

[Stregone]

Looks like a cosplay prop for a PS1 game, lol.

I hate you all. I came here just to make a Medford joke, and everybody beat me to it

 

[22-rimfire]

Wonder how it slices?

 

[PURPLEDC]

I'm just sad I didn't make it first.
I had thought of making something like that as a joke, but I waited too long.

I can't really use 2 inch thick stock, because it wouldn't look like a knife/wedge at all. Even as a joke it would flop.
So sadly, I must give a tip of the hat to the person who beat me to the joke.

What about 2" stock with a really really really deep hollow grind?

 

[Cereal_killer]

Yes but is it powerful steel?

 

[JoshH]

Yes but is it powerful steel?

My guess would be yes. It's not a tanto, but I'd wager it's carpenter steel!

 

[Armadew]

I actually laughed out loud when he transitioned to the thumb grip.

 

[me2]

It's a scandi grind. Should cut great.

 

[Riz!]

I picture Doug Marcaida

This... won't cut!

IMO, with no disrespect meant to the maker...that is a waste of good steel.

 

[SpySmasher]

Tbh, I prefer beating my cardboard to death anyway.

 

[DocJD]

Sweet ! I sure hope they is a folder so I's can baton it !

But is this really a" hard use " knife ? Need proof test .

 

[A.L.]

Needs more Voxnaes -type jimping that makes your hands bleed.

Another member and I had some fun with this in another place on the Internet, so I started sketching, and came up with something.

Over to the left of the first drawing is a point-on view. I was able to get the bevels to 12.5 degrees per side, which is still axe territory, but with a zero bevel, it has a chance of cutting.

I don't mean to insult Kornalski, either. I'm wondering if he did this just to see if he could. In the same spirit of "let's see what happens", I tried to get the bevel angles lower. Turns out, it can be done, but the blade ends up being three inches wide.

Oh well.

 

[Wolverine666]

Wow. What's the sheath look like?

 

[WValtakis]

Wow. What's the sheath look like?

No sheath can contain that beast!

It comes in a special metal briefcase, and a guy who has it handcuffed to himself. You need two keys, and authorization from Congress.
