Doh.... I meant to post in this area, but I think I posted in another area first.....

Hey Guys.... I'ts been a long while since I've posted much of anything anywhere.... just been a little busy
Here are some of the new Karambits I've been working on.

THey are made of .180 CPM CRUWEAR
RC/hardness is 63-65
colors are Tungsten, Bronze, Forrest Green, and Black
Sharpened on every edge, VERY light weight
The main edge is a hollow grind with a convex edge, the rippers on top are also a hollow grind with each ripper being a convex edge. The top edge and front bevel are both flat/sabre grinds as well as the secondary bevels.
Hope you guys enjoy, let me know what you think.

Beautiful. I'm a huge karambit fan. PM sent.

Just visited your site. Congrats on the waiting list. Maybe I'll try to pin you down for one of these at Blade. See ya.

Thanks Michael, Pm returned. We should still swing by each other's tables at the show....... I think I'm still at 21 H (unless they've moved me again)

I like the lines very much!! It is just that milled pattern of the skeletonized tang which happens to remind something umpleasant....
 
Holy crap those are cool!

The "rippers" take it to another level than what you see with most other fixed karambits.

Yeah I've gotten everything from zz top to an animal/man and the ss logo..... They are intended to be lightening bolts from Thor, as I take my branding from Norse mythology. The third bolt was cut short because I could not run it into the skeletonization of the blade area. If I wanted to put an ss insignia on a knife, I would just put it there, but that is not what it's intended to be.
......and besides.... those symbols were around a VERY long time before the nazis "assumed" them and tried to associate the meaning to their cause. No direct offense meant, but he only thing that makes those different meanings "stick" is ignorance.

Also the svastica sign was around long time, i bet it could be put on a tactical-thug knife and say it is the rising sun, anyway great craftmanship and no direct offense.
