A search didn't return a specific thread for posting recurves (checked 5 pages after typing "recurve" then made up my mind) sooooo...I really like curvy blades, and thought it would be cool to have a lot of them in one place. Show me what you got!!

I made this for a good friend out of 1084 steel and homemade jeans/bdu mycarta:

modded and kept this BK11:

got tired of waiting to snag a BK1 brute at a good price, so made this version (1084), approved by Ethan Becker and Ht'd at his house during a marvelous gathering:

made and sold this one to a co-worker, 1084 also:

Cudeman Villegas - side note: this knife was designed in the 80s by Captain Villegas of the Spanish army. It was a trend setter whose influence can still be seen in a lot of Spanish knives, most notoriously in Aitor's version of it, the Cuchillo de Monte/Oso Negro/Oso Blanco, a knife that has been issued to several armies around the world. Many Spanish knife companies have a version of the Villegas:

First generation Oso Negro. Originally called Cuchillo de Monte, the Oso versions were made to sell to civilians. This knife was derived from the Villegas and approved/issued to the Spanish army. The current model has a different guard and the pommel is secured by an allen nut:

That's a lot of recurves to say the least, and some nice ones. Maybe you should change your forum name to RecurveNinja! :D

Some are harder to sharpen than others

But usually sharpmaker can handle it
