Todd Gdula Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This is the latest end product of my grinding projects. Made from some of Aldo's good 1084. 11" overall with a 6.25" cutting edge. Full tang w/ cocobolo slabs and seven brass pins. Very coarse file work and mustard finish for a rustic look. I had my doubts as it progressed but I'm pretty happy with it.

Tate Roth Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I really like it too. I'm a big fan of shiv's and bell dirks. Steel is my canvas, a hammer my brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Gdula Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 beautiful knife! sure beats a sharpened tooth brush in a prison fight Thanks! I'm actually an assistant warden at a correctional facility. I was a little put out the first time a saw a nicely made knife called a shiv (it was a Fogg shiv), so now I exclusively refer to the jail stickers as "shanks". The tooth brush ones are pretty common, the best made one I ever saw was a couple feet long and made from a steel bucket handle. The scariest one was a porcelin shard from a broken toilet that was about a foot and a half long... but I digress... I really like it too. I'm a big fan of shiv's and bell dirks. Thanks! I was going for Bell-ish. -Todd www.toddblades.com "Geometry says how sharp, steel says how long." - Roman Landes, Ashokan 2009 "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
