templehound Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 This jungle knife has a 1.2550 (60WCrV8) blade forged from round stock. A single chunk of Ceylon iron wood was used for handle and sheath and the fittings are made from fire finished copper. The tang goes through the handle and is riveted on the butt forming the center of the flower. The blade has 200 mm in length and the overall length measures 345 mm. The origin of the name comes from the bird of prey in whose territory I found the wood. Cheers Jeremiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhitee93 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wow, that knife looks like it would be equally at home in hard use, or in a display case. This is a balance that I find very difficult to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Agreed, pretty much everything I've seen from templehound seems like it should be both used hard and admired when not in use. I'm a bit jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcrow Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Every small detail is so perfectly executed, and the overall flow of lines (the most important thing, in my opinion) is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
