DIY Knifemaking: Boot Dagger & Clippoint

Post by astronomy.domaine » Tue Apr 28, 2015 12:17 am

HI All,
Here are a couple of blades I completed today.
First one is a double edged dagger with functional saw teeth on either edge base. Blade length is 4 inches and the profile is compact enough to be carried concealed in a boot.

Second knife is a clip point with an experimental false(unsharpened) secondary bevel on the spine.
Both blades are tool grade steel with brushed finish and wooden grips.
Please have a look... comments and suggestions are welcome..:)

Wow! The second one is by far the best looking DIY knife i have seen on this forum!
Only one suggestion, make an awesome sheath to go with it and then trade it with me ;)
Lock, Stock and Barrel.

A.D., the rate at which you are churning out these knives makes me wonder if you haven't a secret knife making factory you aren't telling us about! Going green with envy, bro, I am :mrgreen: !!

And I'll stop using terms like "awesome", "stupendous", et al for you - you make these adjectives so common!!
Cheers!

@essdee1972: well essdee bhai, no clandestine knife factories here! I am just someone with a slightly extremist bent of mind :twisted: , who loves weapons, tinkering and has a lot of free time at hand (which will soon end as I return to the 9to5 grind. :( ).
