For some mad reason

[Stevie777]

I kinda like this. Dont know why as my spider senses are saying, Stay Back, Cheap Rubbish from the far East...Maybe so, but could it have a place in Bushcrafting, Seal butchery maybe?.. ? I like the design and the pretty pattern on the steel. Pity it looks (to my untrained eye) like the Tang has been welded to the blade.

Doesn't look like the tang has been welded, just a full tang with damascus bolsters.... Just looks like all the other cheap damascus flooding the markets these days.

Quality item at a reasonable price. Not too keen on the handle shape, it's flaring the wrong way, thcker at the top thinning towards the base.

+1 to all of that. Full tang almost certainly. Nothing to say it doesn't have it's place however, if you like it you like it simple as

The hour glass shape half way down looks like a join to me

Yeah, my thoughts also.

I was also thinking 'what a load of crap..'! I guess someone has to buy it though, just try not to get your hopes up with things like this.

Without a doubt that's going to be rubbish. Buy it to look at if you want but as something worthwhile to use, forget it!

Except possibly blood or body parts.

I never said i would buy it, I said i liked the look of it for some mad reason.
I like the shape, The Handle could have been done better but i'm pretty sure it could be used as a decent butchery tool more than a bushcraft tool....

I have been toying with the idea of buying a Inuit Ulu knife and i just thought this style of Axe kinda fitted the bill, but could also be utilised for other things bushcrafty given the right materials used in it's construction.

For those who have never heard of a Ulu Knife.. https://www.google.com/search?q=ulu...-2rpqezxwIVqQrbCh3-LAXl#imgrc=bcXdnGm_zJsUfM:

I never said you said!

Perhaps use it as a design for a custom commission where you know the process it has been through and what type of steel it actually is!

I have some metal saw blade material that would probably do the job for one of these knives. Need to work out how i would cut and shape the steel mind you. Dont even know if my grinder with a grinding disc would put a dent in it. Only one way to find out i suppose.
