tantrum86 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 the blade is 5 1/2" and the knife is ten inches overall it is pretty hard to tell the scale of the blade in these pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triw Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Nice work, What material did you use for the handle? Thanks for sharing your pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 "a cable blade with purple heart handle" so my guess is that the handle is purpleheart (a type of wood.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper84 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Where did you get the cable, i've been looking all over for some time now, and i cannot find any. Great work by the way i like the layers in the handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
