Side effect of a semi lockdown is that I manage to find some time to do some more work on some knives I have been trying to work on, this one is now almost done, 01 blade, brass guard and pommel, green g10 liners with green micarta and copper pins, still has a tad polishing, sharpening and a sheath to go.

The design came from a guy who is apparently a sniper in Afghanistan, basically a small khukuri shrunk down to a more portable item, still big enough to do a tad of chopping but mainly designed for slicing.
The back Swedge is not sharp, just there to take some weight out and make it a tad better at piercing.
Very positive grip, for biggish hands.
I chose it to try a tad more brass wor, getting better but you can see the pins.

Here's a good type and well priced knife for deer (in USD). XHP is an excellent steel.

Designed to be a simple kitchen workhorse/tester so we'll see how she goes then smash out a couple with some nice timber. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a041823286.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...493b32ad97.jpg

I'm not a knife guy, they're just a tool to me (#1 knife is a Gerber folder!), but that is VERY NICE! Viper, how much would something like that cost?Quote:

Me and my son (16) did a knife making course last Saturday - I'm no knife guy but we had a great day working the forge hammering/shaping the handle etc - was a xmas voucher from the wife.
Taking new knife to haast next week - hopefully it wont look this new hahaha
Can now appreciate the art - wow
