Two unusual Knives

[kenhills]

Hi All,

It's me again with a few more knives for sale. The first one is a Punch Dagger, when held properly it will cut on the upward motion. Yes the blade is on the upper edge with the spine being on the bottom. The second is one I made this weekend and has a distal taper front and back and loosely resembles a Nessmuk.

Handle: Eastern Apple wood with 3 brass pins
Steel: 3/16ths 1095 to a RC 57-58, skull crusher/glass breaker hardened as well

If you have questions or comments please feel free to ask or make them.

That punch dagger sold really quick! That looked like a very effective design.

Its more intuitive than most people think. When you keep the motions to a minimum you gain an advantage.

I'd love to see your take on a hawkbill/kerambit style pushdagger.

Im going to give it a try. Its not that I cant make it but that the machinery that I am using does not lend its self to small convex edges. The take up wheel that I can grind on has a 6 inch diameter so thats the minimum radius I can grind on it. There is a second wheel on the machine its just in an awkward place to use. It has a 2 inch diameter which would work, I just need to take the guard off it and lay the grinder on its side. No big deal.......just got to find the time to do it. Ill surprise you one day. Ken
