So I am designing (or attempting to) a 5-4 inch fixed blade that i will have some1 make for me. I want a small flat fixed blade to just drop in my pocket in a kydex sheath.
I was also wondering if a piggyback kydex could be made for a small kiridashi (handle the size of my thumb)?
The handle will be a large karambit style ring where my middle finger will go, then it will curve like a old pistol to a finger guard/choil for the index. the handle is only for two fingers, tho a thick paracord lanyard will be tied to the handle for the rest of my hand to hold.
Im playing around with a s type curve then a tanto point. this will give it a second point at the tip of the s that i think will be awesome for opening mail,packages,fish,cutting string, ect. then have a large belly for rocking back and forth chopping up ingredients in a pinch, slicing. the tanto point would be used for piercing, drilling holes, used as xacto knife. it knida looks like a manatee and is pretty ugly. ive never done this before and im just trying things out. it would be awesome if this shape could work but ive never seen anything like it.
What blade shapes do you think will perform well?
I also am thinking of a wharenclif stlye double ground blade with the front edge sharpend ina chisel grind. this will make is pierce like crazy, sorta like a extendd penetrator tip only you can use it as you would a kiriadashi or exacto knife.
Ive never bought a custom knife but i figure the best kind of custom is one made for me.
so i might have gotten a little wild thinking "i can have anything i want..."
but anyway throw in your thoughts one the dream manatee, or the xact wharnie
