Brad L Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Here is the hardest knife I have done yet. The blade is forged from 5160 triple edge quenched just under 10" long. I made the handle out of alternating layers of fabric, green, brown and digital cammo. What do you think? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenaghan Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I gotta say I love that knife, I just think for a chopper its alittle too shinny... all that time polishing I'd be too worried about scatching it! Just joking around, great knife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Steinkirchner Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 great blade, and I especially like the home-made micarta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Oooh! Shiny Love the suedo-Micarta! Is that genuine, original, USMC digi-camo?? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad L Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. The blade is 1/4" thick. The balance point is about 1" in front of the handle. I have no idea about the type of cammo, it was a Frenchies purchase. (Used clothing store, very popular in the maritime's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) LOL. The way to tell if digi-camo is genuine (USMC) is that somewhere in every 18" square there is an EGA (Marine Corps emblem) imbedded in the fabric. Just a little Jarhead trivia Again, nice work! Scott Edit: I stand corrected; According to WIKI, the digicam for battle dress was pioneered by the Canadians...

wannaforge Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 My first post on here. Love the micarta handle!!! The blade is nice also, just for giggles I think the digi-cam is the Army's pattern. Beautiful Knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
