Kukri!

This is a big first for me. It's my first large knife intended for combat and very hard use. I payed special attention to geometry on this one. The spine is 5/32''. I carefully tailored the grind for very fast, deft strokes. It can cut through most brush you encounter in one quick swoop. Stabilized amboyna burl handle, nickel silver bolster polished to a shiny 2500 grit. 1084 blade steel





Tanto... kind of

EDC kind of knife, again, we have a hamon. I was really happy about the sheath with for this one.







Seaxy thing

This is a seax inspired knife with a hamon. Seaxs were a traditional, very old germanic fighting knife, the straight edge slashes very well, and the tip design concentrates all the power right on the point, near the cutting edge, making it lethal for piercing. I threw the hamon in just to mix things up, german fighting knife, Japanese blade hardening technique.
