Thread: Various Knives

An interesting project finished and ready to go. I had a request for a short slasher with the specs to be a 300mm blade and 450mm handle so I drew up a plan that was aproved and went from there. 6mm 1075 for the blade and a hickory axe handle as the starting place with it being shortened and reshaped for the handle. Made the securing rings from the side out of a 50x25 box section. It was to have a blade cover so it could be carried in a hunting pack for those times when the pig hunter has to get in amongst the tight places the pigs can get to. Weight at 1.25 kg with the blade cover in place so shouldnt be a burden to carry.
