The Shrike

[white tiger]

Hi Gents


The blade for this knife is made from eleven layers of Shiro 2 white paper steel, the blade length is 137mm, blade thickness is 4mm and the overall length of the knife is 250mm. There is 25mm of jimping on the spine for secure thumb placement. The handle scales are python skin Micarta, there are no liners under the scales. The handle is 16mm thick a requirement from the customer, there is another 25mm of jimping on the butt of the handle again for secure thumb placement when using a reverse grip.

The sheath is a leather wet moulded pancake style with Kydex rivets, dyed mahogany brown and mounted with two Kydex belt loops.

Thank you for taking the time to look, all comments and critique very welcome.

I picked the first piece of that Micarta up at the Blade Show in 2016 Steve, I think it was from Mase craft, but I'm not 100% certain of that. The piece I have now I stumbled across from a company over here in the UK called GPS Agencies. They're based in Petersfield not far from me, they only had a small amount left over from a special order. I've not seen any since then, but if I do I'll pick some up and send some to you.
