This first one is what I envision to be an ideal survival and combat knife. I drew this up almost two years ago, and when I saw that new Rambo movie, I yelled "They stole my knife!"
Here are the specs...
Blade: 11-3/4" long with an 11-1/4" cutting edge. 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel. Full flat grind. 2-7/8" wide at its widest point. I also made a fire steel notch in mine at the spine, but that can be omitted.
Handle: 6" long, including the exposed butt. Linen micarta handles, secured by Phillips screws. Lanyard oval in the butt.
With an RC-4 for size comparison...
In-hand...
I made a crappy sheath to go with it...
The second one is an ideal (for me) every-day fixed blade. Specs...
Blade: 3-1/4" long (3" cutting edge). 1/8" thick. 1095 carbon steel, full flat grind. Clip point. Thumb jimping for 1-1/2" of the spine.
Handle: 3-3/4" long, including the exposed butt. Linen micarta scales, secured by Phillips screws. Skeletonized inside. Lanyard hole in the butt. The handle tapers thinner toward the blade and thicker toward the butt.
With an Izula for size comparison...
Sheath options...
"Leather" bushcraft-style sheath...
"Kydex" sheath...
