Stormcrow Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I like making big knives, but of course make small ones too. It's actually more difficult for me to make a 4" blade than a 12" blade. Here are some littler ones that recently left the shop for new homes. All are 80CrV2 steel with marine epoxy-impregnated wraps. Two tantos. The long, slim one has an 8 7/8" long blade. The little kwaiken is a 4" blade, 4" handle, with hemp cord for the underlay on the wrap and paracord on top. tantos01 by James Helm, on Flickr And two rooster spurs. The top one has a 5 1/2" blade, the bottom a 4" like the original. Both have fully sharpened top edges. This was a his-and-hers set, hence the pink camo cord on the bottom one. clippoints by James Helm, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLiner Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 They look good. I liked how you put the double strand turks head knot as the guard when you use para cord handle wrap. I also like the rougher forged look, instead of a nice high polish finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherViking Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Out of all of them, the smallest is my favourite (maybe not in pink wrap), but something about the proportions and finish I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
