Push thorn

[john april]

i watched the "road warrior" the other night (getting in the spirit of things) and drew this up afterwards. it has an 8 3/4" thorn, or stinger made of 1084 steel with a 1000 grit finish. it is deeply hollow ground with a 2" wheel. it has no sharpened edge, its mainly intended for puncturing. black linen micarta handle with domed pins. thanks for looking !

Cool John. Good movie, hopefully it doesn’t get that bad.

I like it. Unusual! Nice tool for pithing a trapped animal not killed by the jaws.

Your idea/design? Is it a snap on the sheath? Thanks.

Quite cool John! That'll go in one side and come out the other

That definitely matches the title of the thread. Nice!

Typical J. April clean. Very singular intention. That's what makes it so cautionary eyegrabbing!

thanks gents ! yes brownshoe, its a snap on the sheath. not really my idea, but a twist on the push knife design.

do not want to be at the wrong end of that thing

 

[SharpByCoop]

This thing will cut you TWICE....

Once going in, and on the other side coming out.
