Slim Fighter ??? I hope it is a fighter ;) Carbon tool steel N9E (Polish steel, AISI- W1-8 1/2A?), Arizona desert ironwood, bronze, nickel silver, black vulcanized fiber. Total lenght 285/294 mm (without / with a nut), blade 161 x 25 x 4,3 mm. Blunt yet...

Thanks for looking
 
Thanks but I think I'll have to upgrade my browser. Not working for me.
 
Photos are HUGE to me. It takes two clicks.

Really nice. Lots of embellishments to make it interesting. I'd call it a dirk, not necessarily a fighter?

Thanks.

You know, I already do not know what it is fighter. On the Polish knife forum we have a thema "the most beautiful fighter" and people insert pictures so different knives ... This knife is designed primarily to push - although there is a false edge, but I think a rounded back gives similar results. If the shot is primarily use, a knife is rather to fight than a EDC knife, I think ... But you're right a Mediterranean dirk was one of the inspirations of this knife. Initially, they even had to have a classic Mediterranean dirk handle. :)
Asecond, great mystery to me is the knife type called "Rifleman's knife". What the hell is this? Each larger knife in the eighteenth century style?
 
I was thinking it looks more like a South American criollo, maybe a Puñal criollo. Very classic style, I like it!
