Thread: small knife design , your input.

I have always used a panel saw. A sharp one will rip down the spine in about a minute and stay nice and straight. I always saw from the front (abdominal cavity) so the bulk of the bone chips go out the back.

So the knife has been started, I went for "A" blade and "C" handle as that got requested quite a bit . Fits the hand well and feels nicely balanced in different grips.
There are a few knives ahead of it under way but will post the progress just for fun and to keep you guys informed.
At some stage I will make "B" as well just because there was some interest in the shape and it's not something I normally make.

That looks really good!

What did you cut the shape of the knife out with?

what the fucks up with your pinky did you just out down your tea

mate youre bloods worth bottling -thanks for even giving it some thought .Even if its in parts -i casn rebuild it .
Ihave a copy of the american schrade fingertip skinner -lovely wee knife-just doesnt quitefeel the same as that bugger did.
Id pick it up and open up a breastbone like a pathologist at a postmortem .
for tracing down the breastbone -bugger me an old shepherds pen knife GSPF found in water in front of a maimai at ellesmere and gave to me
blade rusty as buggery handle cracked ,but i liked it and reconditioned it .It sharpens up faster than a scotsman can collar a dollar
a couple of strokes with it along the collarbone lays that goose/mallard breast clean open!
bloody amazing given my knife collection how i instinctively go for a certain knife for a certain job

It is a shape appealing to the eye Viper, but I don't think it will achieve what you are wanting to achieve.
For gutting a fish, the blade has too much curve at the point, which will make it difficult to enter the vent. With that shape blade it will be hard to nick the gill artery. It is too curved for filleting.
For quackers I think the blade is too wide to turn in the narrow space when breasting and the wrong shape for separating leg joints. I think the results on ducks will look like a Willy Duley back steaking job ( half the flesh left on the bones).
For me if the blade was reshaped to be straighter from point to base - a bit like a half worn Mercator it would be better for purpose.

good idea, usually use hand saw.

For me, the Car padeum blade shape with a hollow grind would actually work the best even if not the prettiest

The modern reciprocating saw has many uses and after-market attachments - steady on the throttle boys https://trysexmachines.com/products/...ting-saw-dildo
I believe @veitnamcam has one

Now here we have a classic NZHS case of a thread getting so far from the original topic is mind blogging. How did we get from this to this ?.
Firstly in @veitnamcam defense he has the larger version and it's apparently a different colour.
Next @moahunter your sexual taste has clearly during lockdown lead you down some dark and twisted paths, get some help or at least contact Dewalt and see if they do a yellow and black version.
