Stormcrow Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Some biggish blades I forged out for the Blade Show. This one is the second of the blades inspired by Chris Redfield's Resident Evil 5 knife that I've forged. The steel is 5160, handle is black TeroTuf with flared stainless steel rivets. Blade length is 16 3/4", overall length is 21 3/4" I happily appropriate the term "tactical elvish" from my buddy Tobin Nieto to describe this blade. It ended up being fairly close to my recollection of one of the rejected designs for Sting from Weta Workshops. Now, if I saw the picture again, I might find I'm wrong. 5160 and TeroTuf, blade length of 14 1/4", OAL of 19 5/8". And a simple camp chopper forged from 80CrV2, with marine epoxy-impregnated paracord over neoprene. Blade is 12", OAL is 18 1/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi James! Can't believe that nobody has commented these knives since Saturday Without aiming for any new to say I can tell I like these blades very much - as usual, really. That Tactical elvish one is definitely my favorite. The curved lines, the false edge, handle type and shape - just perfect! Keep on and show us more!! Gergely PS: It's more of a PM thing, but finally I found an on sale springhammer pretty close to my home, so the building of one like your Gunnhilda went off - I have some big steel pieces though just in case Thanks for all the help (back then).

Dustin Quade Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I love the shape of your "Tactical elvish" blade. I have not tried to do a knife blade with a belly like that as much as i want to i really worry that i would screw up the grinding on it. Yours looks great though!
