It looks like a Witchety grub from Australia.

Thanks Dixieblade. It was inspired by that kind of horn but it is made out of wood.
Lots of sanding. :(

I think we are getting close to finding a name. :D

Umbilical knife.
Click to expand...

Ya, it's even got a stand so it can be on the bedside table ready for action. When I had to cut my son's cord with a plain old pair of hospital scissors it wasn't any fun at all, rather barbarous really. I say why not elevate the moment with....

A genuine custom Lemee Umbilical Knife. It comes complete with a custom table-top tool-holder display-stand! Don't let those special moments when your new loved ones make their debut on Earth slip by with ordinary clinical cutting tools. Real Dads get the deed done with real hand forged steel. Don't be a hack when it comes to cutting your wee one free from Mom. The Lemee Umbilical Knife can slice through the toughest rubber hose. It can make quick work of all your maternity room needs. Heck, it can do a fine cesarean too! And for all you placenta eating adventurers, who could ask for a better slicer and dicer?!

Just replace the background of postcards with baby and stork pictures, etc.

Having never seen an umbilical cord, about all I can say is that it looks like something sharp exiting from a colon. On that cheerful image, I think of this as the Lemee Rectal Revenge.
 
You guys don't mind if I go for one of the more macho suggestion do you?
The umbilical bit was funny at least but now with Tryp's suggestion this is really going down fast. :eek::grumpy:;)
 
How about "Couteau de la Sage-Femme", or for something more 'masculine', "The Mohel's Companion" ;)

That's wild Patrice, very creative! Can you share some information about the knife's construction, materials, etc.? How did you shape the handle that way?

I wasn't planning on being in the KITH this year as I didn't think I could get something done in time, but I may have to try to scramble and get something done for a shot at this piece!
 
Thanks Paul! :) The knife won't go in the KITH though. I do appreciate your compliment but I know full well that most will find it on the odd side or even worts like Tryppyr. I would not want to disappoint someone that has put a lot of work in making a knife to participate.

Here are the specs:
Blade length: 3.25" OAL: 12"
Grind: hollow
Steel: 1095 (1/8")
Pins: Brass Corby bolt
Handle: Morado (Pau ferro)
Guard & fittings: Mild steel, brass and some dark wood I just can't remember the name

It is a simple hidden tang construction. For the handle, I first filed and sanded to the general shape I wanted. Then I cut thin strips of low tack painter's tape and looped them around for the spiral effect. I used a lead pen and drew my spiral. Removed the tape and used a Dremel with small cylindrical HSS burr to establish a nice deep groove. Followed by larger sanding drums in the Dremel again. Then it was sandpaper with different sized tubing as backing. The final sanding with finer grits you can do the shoeshine thing by just twisting the sandpaper strips a little. I use 1” wide strips and twisting them makes it easier to get into the grooves but also strengthens them a little so they are less prone to tearing. Works quite good. Finish is green chrome on the buffer.

Thanks again for the good words. Much appreciated.
 
err... to me, I'd call it the " Wallstreet bailout " :grumpy:

looks like the instrument used on the tax payers... :eek:


dude... you just gotta make a case for it... .... i'm thinking somethin.......



furry


... :D:D


hey...someone had to say it
 
guy's i think i got it
it is a knife made for a "Briss" i hope i spelled it correctly,when the jewish boy get's "Cut" im sure there is a name for it.. the circumciser (he he)
sorry guy's looking at that made me think someone made it for precision cutting.
Ok Seriously if you don't want to call it the "Junk Cutter" how about the " "Stinger " like the stinger on the end of a Scorpion's tail
 
"The Lawyer"

EDIT:

Explanation: Anything that looks like intestines, a grub worm, AND a weapon has to be realted to a Lawyer in some way.

PS: I like it!
 
Alacran Horn it will be I think. The Lemee Umbilical Knife does come in at a close second place. ;)

PS: It does look like Giger stuff a little.:eek:

Thanks for the comments guys.
