Yataghan fighter

[Dirk]

This was inspired by a picture of a Yataghan sword I saw somewhere.


It is made from D2, 10" overall with a 5.5" blade, black canvas Micarta. It balances right at the finger notch.

Woww, good execution. I'm also recently making a D2 yatagan for an order. To place a false edge really went well with that type of knife. I really like the swing action of these types...

Thanks everyone for the nice words.

galadduin, I agree, a false edge works very well with this style. This knife moves very well, a quick blade.

I like it. The blade is very distinctive, with nice grinds.

The S curve where the scales meet the blade is a very nice finishing touch too.
