I've long time admired the work of master bladesmith Skiva Ki. This idea has been kindling in the ole' noggin' for quite sometime, finally put this together. I've made a blank out of thin steel, to use as a template, expect more like this in the future. Shiva Ki fought for the American Military, in special forces during the Vietnam conflict. He's trained extensively in martial arts & even won a state-wide "Tough Man" tournament, at age 60. When you hold this knife, to borrow a line from R. Lee Emery in Full Metal Jacket, "You will be a minister of death, praying for war."
Awesome handling characteristics, I wouldn't be afraid of anything in the woods with this special designed combat knife, created by a true master in hand to hand combat.

Got a lot of time into this one.
Blade-O1 Tool Steel (7 3/4") Actual Cutting Edge
Thickness- 1/4"
Overall Length-14 1/4"
Handle- Jigged Buffalo Horn (shaped like Impala Horn)
Guard-Stainless Steel
Butt/Pommel-German Silver Nickle

I'm offering this up for sale @ a reasonable price, considering all the time put into it. These knives normally start at $1,250.00.
Price for this one is $SOLD. Currently only accepting PayPal at this time, payments can be made to b_armstrongforever@hotmail.com

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Guys. Put a lot of time into this fine piece.

I bought the scales already jigged from Culpepper & Co. Did have to extend each jigged rib, by hand, near the sides.

You can't see in the pictures, but the handle is rounded in circumference, not rectangular. Very "Grippy", even with a moderate hold, your hand is locked into place. Several times I've held the knife & said to myself "boy that Shiva Ki really knew what he was doing".
 
Bob: Nice looking blade profile.....I like it. :thumbup:
 
Hell ya.

The new owner will sure be lucky. Beautiful blade. I love them when they are made to be used.
 
TK, AVigil, Jack, much appreciation...much thanks. Your words are very inspiring & warmly welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to look at this special knife.

This knife has been [B]SOLD[/B]. Would also like to thank the buyer & give credit to the maker behind this design, Shiva Ki. Expect more like this in the future.

Have a nice weekend everyone.
