Just having some fun and tryin' new stuff.
I have always had an interest in being able to create as many varied types of knives and styles as I can.
This has yet to get the marine epoxy finish, but the day is almost done and I had some time.
The blade was forged down from 1" thick  5160 stock, done in the "Brut de Forge" method and cord wrapped over Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
Will get a cross draw sheath with a groovy little concho.
It'll be on my table at the Ohio Classic in 2 weeks.
Now, don't make fun of me.

That's a beauty Karl.

Where is the Ohio Classic?

Thanks for the link. Will definately put the Saturday show on my calender.

Nice Karl, is that flat or hollow ground? Hard to tell on my computer.

It's about 90% flat grind, and then I finish it off with a convex configuration.

hi Karl,  cute little knife indeed!  there are quicker, easier and in my view better ways to lock/seal that handle in than epoxy ;-)

Then why are you keeping it a secret?
There's no secrets around here, Matt.
(This ain't one of them uppity knife forums)

And, it's just great to see you here.

Cool Karl.  But I thought the paracord should be left dry, so you can change it when it gets nasty, or if you want a different color?

I don't know what Karl is thinking, but I like it!

Dan, I guess there are no set rules here.
One might also leave it un-treated so as to be able to have about 8 feet or para-cord for an emergency.
In this case, I DID want to protect the snake skin, so I soaked the entire thing.
I've got a buddy who seals his cord warp as well, and when it gets dirty he sprays it off with WD-40!
Who knows.

I really like the shape of this one Karl.

Wow Karl, you are really expanding your style!  I like it!
