Cheap prototype knife

[kristophish]

I made this knife as a prototype for a customer but it didnt turn out how i wanted it to.

4inch blade
2mm 01 blade
Cant remember the wood
Green liners stainless pins

Its sharp but a touch up on a stone wouldnt go amiss. No sheath

£33 to your door inc pp fees

.

Any questions please ask. Cheers kris

Interesting shape. What were your thoughts behind that one then?


-sorry, I know it isn't a sale question, but I'm genuinely interested as it looks very useable.

Thb the curve wasnt ment to be so severe. It should have a higher tip and less of a drop point.

The idea was a full tang version of this but with a slightly longer blade

Hehehe, I realised why it caught my attention. Southey came up with a similar design some years back and called it the 'Seagull' because of it's shape. No idea what became of his idea or whether it turned into reality, but like him, it was quite singular and very mad

 

[kristophish]

Haha. It feels very nice in the hand. I think that the curve feels very organic in the hand rather than a straight handle and blade

It's a really interesting design, and like you say looks very organic and useable. I hope whoever buys it posts their thoughts in use as I imagine it would be a very useful and natural feeling tool in the hand.

You were both right, it does

I like it. When I'm carving I often hold my knife blade down and facing front...carving with wrist movement rather than full arm (if that makes any sense)
This blade shape suits that technique perfectly, As well as more conventional holds
if I was being critical the handle is just a bit thin on the back near the blade...but that's more of a preference than a fault with the knife

All in all I think its a great little knife, and for 33 quid, what a bargain!....Oh, I even found a spare sheath that fits

You'll be seeing this knife again after I get my christmas present to go with it
