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?

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!

great blade, and I especially like the home-made micarta

Nice knife, how thick is it?

Oooh! Shiny Love the suedo-Micarta! Is that genuine, original, USMC digi-camo?? :D

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)

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!

Edit: I stand corrected; According to WIKI, the digicam for battle dress was pioneered by the Canadians...

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.
