Variations On A Theme: The K'Nifi

I designed this knife one day back in June. My roommate challenged me to just go and design a knife and 10 minutes later, I had this drawn out and was grinding it out of a bit of wood.

 

This knife isn't bad ass, it isn't tactical, or anything...it's just a knife. It's meant to cut and that's it. That's why I've decided to name this knife (what I think is) the proper phonetic way of pronouncing "knife". It's called the K'Nifi.

 

OAL 165mm

Cutting edge 67mm

Weight: (get ready) 0.33lbs

5160

I just recently finished the bare steel one in 5160 in September and have been carrying it quite a bit. This past week I found some 1/8th inch copper I had been given a few years back and decided to make and upgraded version

 

 

Here is the Copper Clad K'Nifi

 

OAL 165mm

Cutting edge 67mm

Weight: (get ready) 0.55lbs

And, as I'm sure you're all aware, there's always a small sacrifice that is due to the Blade Gods...and I got a bit of a papercut from the belts...

Half a pound? :blink: That could double as a throwing weapon, wouldn't matter which end hit, it'd put the hurt on. ;)

Or a small finishing hammer.........kinda cute though.

Good for dressing small to medium size game.

The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V. Debs

This reminds me of the infamous 'mouse skinner', the design is quite close....

Copper is beautiful, but heavy!
