Something different-1 & 2 finger knives

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I had some small pieces of damascus laying around and decided to forge them to shape. Here is what I came up with. Both are made form Delbert Ealy Zebra pattern damascus. Both have thumb serrations on the top of the blades.

The small one has a cutting edge of 1-1/4 inches. 1/8 in thick and flat ground with false edge. This is designed to be held with one finger, preferably between the index and thumb or in a reverse grip between the middle and ring finger. Overall length is 2-1/2 inches.

The larger one has a 1-1/2 in cutting edge and is also 1/8 in thick. This one is designed to be held with 2 fingers inside the curve and pinched between the thumb and index finger. It fits nicely either in a forward or reverse grip.

These just kinda developed as the blades were forged out.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

I like them. More drawn to the smaller of the two, could be a real nice bird knife when one doesn't want to carry a larger blade. Real potential there.

Great looking damascus by the way!

Nice contrasty damascus. Looks like some fun knives!

What do you have in mind for carry options?
