This is a cool lil' knife I just finished up, made out of obscenely thick .288" Uddeholm Vanadis 4 Extra, and sports a 4-1/4" long blade, ground in the style of the late, great Jody Samson, specifically his 'Weehawk Tanto' grind.

Jody's work is a source of inspiration for me. When I was naught by a wee spry lad, I pined for one of his Pacific Cutlery balisong, with a 5" blade and this grind. Unfortunately, they cost more than my first car did. Dreams of Youth crushed upon the Rocks of Reality, alas!


The small, simple guard of carbon fiber is mated to a sculpted black G10 handle, with a tiny touch of resin-soaked tsukaito to tie it all together. Total overall length is 10-1/2". I think the handle resembles a fin, hence the name.
