SOLD - Damascus/Micarta Pseudo Wharncliffe Fighter

[David Mary]

Greetings friends, this is one I made back in 2017 when I was still buying and modding blanks. This blank was originally a tanto. But even back before I was making my own blades I had a fixation for wharncliffes, and so this tanto underwent surgery to become one. This is, in retrospect, kind of a weird design, and not one I ever have used or will use beyond opening mail. It just sits in a box. I never let it go, but now it's finally time.

Stock Thickness: 5 mm

Overall Length: 12 1/2"

I might need that, it's very dirkish or Scottish sgian-dubh like. I like that one, something about the quirky design draws me in.

How girthy is the handle? Bushcraft knife bulky so it completely fills the handle, maybe a little thinner for an agile fighter or hunter?

Can the kydex take a teklok?

Another cool looking piece...

You sure have more then one style, from big choppers to small chef knives to designing folders. What’s next?

How girthy is the handle?

25.7 mm tall at the tallest point, and 23.6 mm wide at the widest point. It is a little on the narrow side, but my hand is sufficiently filled to bear down on hard cuts. Handle-wise I wouldn't hesitate to carve with it with my medium/large hands. It has thicker blade geometry more suited to a stabby robust fighter, but it is sharp. About 17° primary edge, with a 20° toothy micro that slices paper and shaves hair. I have always seen this as more likely a coyote knife or boar knife than a bushcrafter, but some people are versatile and creative, able to make tools work in roles others wouldn't have thought of.

Yessir.

I eventually have to work up the nerve to finishing this:
