parsha Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi Guys, I'm a amateur hobbyist knifemaker, joined recently to share some of the work i have done. Some details about the knife I wanted this knife to be small enough to be carried easily,but strong enough to survive hard tasks like batoning.The thick tanto tip should ensure that it dosent break after light prying action (I will be using it a lot to peel coconuts) The file teeth are visible along the spine of the blade and near the guard to show from what the knife was made out of. Blade- 5.4 inches length,1 inch wide,0.235 inches thick. Handle- 4 inches length,Stacked leather(cut up an old leather belt)epoxied together with Araldite. Guard and pommel are made from a bar of hardened aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake cleland Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 nice knife, but please resize your pictures - they should be about a quarter of that size, and the resolution for the web only has to be 72 dpi.
