Impressive! Did you mill or grind the fuller?

Not so sure that it will make much headway as a cutting comp knife though. Good as an experiment, but I reckon that short bevel is liable to bind and wedge a bit.

Very best of luck! Hope you have a good time.

For those that don't know, there are some really good pictures of a US cutting competition here:

Also, this is a rather better finished competition style knife than most folk use, but it shows the kind of blade size, edge form and handle shaping that many find effective. It has been noted that a competition knife isn't necessarily a good camp knife, just as a Rally car isn't necessarily going to be all that comfortable to go camping in.

Hi Chris
The fuller was ground. This is the first time that I've looked into this cutting knife competition game and obviously you learn as you go along. Thanks for the links to bb and that photo is of one impressive cutting knife. Just hope I don't come last ha-ha!
All the best

Just tried the knife out again on 3 beer cans. You will notice the wife drank the beer and took the video the wrong way. Just wanted to add that not being in any competitions before, this is a knife that i just knocked up as I wanted to make a Mick Dundee knife for myself
cheers

The hidden carry sheath

The one my wife enjoyed taking hic!

Loving the sheath and the blade both are very nice.

Beast of a knife! You could skin an elephant with that!

Can't wait to see it in the flesh (Not literally!)

 

[Bernie Garland]

You'll be seeing it in the flesh at the weekend Spam plus your two new ones.

What's not to love about a crew served bowie! Nice knife. Mac

 

[Shinken]

Nice knife, bet you had fun making that!

Agree with Chris about the grind, needs to be thinner to be a winner!

But it will be fun!

Real Man Knife this one I like it. You must have had fun grinding and polishing the fuller? How did you make the sheath, that it keep the knife in place? It must be quite heavy.
