Heh, Resident Evil 4 the video game, not the movie....though Archer makes some mean kukris, too. I appreciate how he takes ideas from video games and turns them into real world tools, and the classically-inspired pieces are very nice too. It hits me right in my geek roots, and I was getting ready to move on either a Dishonored short sword or Strider's knife from LOTR when my wife's car suddenly needed 4 new tires. Such great timing...... Keep up the good work Mr. Palmer!

There's a video game? Lol. I've seen all the movies, never played any of the games.
 
Are both edges sharpened ? If so it's a dagger rather than a knife.
 
I think the definition of dagger vs. knife is blurred depending on the locale one is in. In the states they treat pretty much every double sided knife as a dagger. However few would call a double sided karambit a dagger. Or what about a knife with a very long false edge? At what point does it shift from onife to dagger? Not to mention there are one sided "dagger ground" "knives"...what is a dagger but a type of knife? I don't know why I bothered typing something I am sure all of you already know.

Anyway badass knife (dagger) from a badass series of games. That thing is practically anshort sword, would make Rambo blush and type a thead about knives being a reasonable size. I love it! Looks slick and mean. Love the style grip too. I like knives where the handle doesn't confine your hand to one comfortable position.
 
Nice blade!

Do you ever do any full flat grinds or higher saber grinds? I usually only see the low saber, almost scandi grind on everything you do. I think some of your pieces would look/function even better with a higher bevel.
