two brand spankers.

[kristophish]

first up is the tank jabber.

6mm 01 tool steel
130mm blade
125mm handle
260mm OAL
full flat grind
with a slight swedge.

handle has black liners and brass 5mm pins, cant remember what the wood is.

this is a beast, mega sharp. my first attempt at a survival type knife






















it needs a bit of finishing touches and im a little annoyed about the knots coming through during sanding.




next up is another friction folder

3mm 01 tool steel
65mm blade
100mm handle
165mm OAL
micarta handle
stainless steel pin and lanyard and 01 spacer

















decided to leave the scale on this one, I quite like it.


all criticisms welcome

these two are for for sale if your interested kris

Very very very nice love them both the friction folder more so

 

[juttle]

I love the first one, a right handful!

Don't worry about the knots, just adds character - as if it needed any more!

 

[mountainm]

You're getting good at this. How about something with buffalo horn scales?

thank mountain, im getting addicted!! the wife keeps telling me off cause im always in the shed (playing knife) as I call it.

funnily enough ive recently acquired some buffalo horn, cant for the life of me remember who from tho. haha
I was gonna use it for the tank jabber but they were just slightly to small.

how u getting on with the brass?

 

[abominable_scouse_monster]

Damn, I love that friction folder, really nice work.

And your right, the scale on the handle gives it a sense of age, but it's fresh and new. I really like it. Where you tempted to make the edge of the bottle opener into a flat head screw driver?

 

[copper_head]

Very nice, I love the folder.

 

[mountainm]

The brass is cut and shaped into rough bolsters now ready for a couple of projects. Its really good stuff, will look class.

Nice knifes but the title for this thread needs a bit of work on it

'Two Brand Spankers' sounds a bit BDSM related rather than knifes

 

[woof]

I like them both, & its good to see a fixed blade with a man size handle !

[Dreadhead]

[Biker]

Those are REALLY nice. Liking the Tank Jabber a lot but that friction folder is soooo Phoarrrrr! Very nice work mate!

 

[Perrari]

Nice work ! That Tank Jabber is a beast. Like the bottle opener on the folder too.

What is 'a slight swedge' ??

 

[demographic]

Seen a few pictures of friction folders with bottle openers recently, seems a fairly logical thing to have on a friction folder actually.

I like that.

 

[Niels]

Very nice knives that. Like the big one the best. That's a real workhorse.
