7" from guard to tip, the cutting edge is 6 1/2".Is that as long as it looks?
It turned out nice I think, the black leather is sleek.Holy smokes, just saw the knife from the previous page, wow!![]()
Here's a profile of it. This one has serious potential. I'm gonna need some suggestions for handle ideas.Most of the time I have an exact purpose in mind when I draw something up. This one, not so much. It's around a 7" blade and 12" OAL. It could go any direction, but I think with a low swedge and a stacked handle it'll have a classic look. It's got a curved tang as well.
This cloud ran away right after I took this picture. Coincidence? I think not![]()
I am really digging this blade shape, cant wait to get a handle on. I think I'm gonna torch the guard and give it a nice backwards curve. Tim offered some blue micarta when we were talking about colors, I wonder how that would look with natural leather, maybe black leather on this one too?
