Hi All,
Back again with two new knives. Today its two new Pushulus. (Yea that's the name I settled on.) Both are made out of 3/16ths O1 and hardened to a RC of about 58-59. Size aproximatly 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches to the top of the blade. The wood is Purple Heart taken up to 1200 grit then polished till it glows (well not really, but it shines.) with 2 brass pins. These are very intuitive knives and it really makes no difference how you strike with them. If you connect you do damage...think about it. I also believe that they get around the double edge problem we run into in some places. There is no point only an arch. By definition it has only one side. If you have any opinions about that chime in please. They are extremely solid in the hand the base is wide enough so it does not move around in your palm. Upon impact the pressure would be spread around a wide enough area so it would not be noticed. (much) Of course when the judge asks you what type of knife it is you can always say its for chopping spices and show him a traditional Ulu to make your point. Price $50 shipped to the lower 48 plus another $10 for a Kydex neck or belt sheath if you want one. Opinions are always welcome, Thanks, Ken
