Here are four custom pieces I have for trade. I am looking for quality Karambits, Busse, or Swamp Rat knives. $$$ can be added either way as needed.
Here are two pics that show the custom pieces I have.
(1)The first is called a "Battle Stick". It is made of ATS34 and I was told heat treated
to approx. 58rw hardness. It is a one of a kind and the maker has retired for now. It was
designed to damage sword edges when fighting. You can see the front end has a shape that lends
to thrusts and smashing. It is single handed or hand and a half. The butt of the weapon is wicked
and was designed to rip and pierce when the butt is used to strike in close
quarters. Micarta handle.
The second picture has three weapons.
(2) The one with a ring hole is called a "Dragon Claw". Your index finger is inserted
into the hole and it is held in standard grip.It was designed to be small but able to
rip, tear, and pierce. It is ATS34 also. Micarta handle. Fits easily in pocket.
(3) The next is called the "Talon" I believe. Same concept in that it is held in standard
grip and is used to rip, slash, tear, and pierce. Fits easily in pocket. ATS34 and
micarta.
(4) The last piece is caled a "Trident". It is worn in the hair. It was designed to be
concealed/worn in the hair. It is ATS34 and micarta. Designed to claw and thrust.
All of these pieces are one of a kind and might never be made again, though we are always after the maker to at least put a few out.
Let me know if you are interested. Thanks for looking.
