Stout little guys at 5/32" but still small. 7" overall with 3" blades. The warncliff has my balck micarta and the spear point is black and green G-10. I bead blasted the steel then hit them really lightly with the scotch brite belt. Gave a cool finish, let me know what you think. Thanks for looking
Paul

I really like those two. Different design that seems to add another grip possibility, especially on the wharncliff. It looks like you can rest your thumb on the leading edge of the side of the handle while placing your forefinger on the spine of the blade.

Great Work!
 
Paul, those are pretty sweet! Is that Michael Spangler custom paracord? :D Love the finish too. You might try using some straight FC (not cut with water) for about a minute after bead blasting, then rub down with WD-40 and a scotch brite pad (not belt). Makes for a little more flat gray.
 
Both look great. I think I favor the spearpoint too. Is there green in the spearpoint g10?

thanks I'll give it a try.

there is green, but it's really hard to see in person never mind after the photo. I felt I shouldn't call it black when its not, even if it looks black. I actually ordered black and blue G-10 and thats what the sheet says on the label, but when its wet you can clearly see it's green. I'll try and post some better pics.

thanks alot guys!!

For that size or any size you'd like to make, those designs work for my eyes.

Very nice ;)
