    Default a monster self defense blade!

    I put a paracord handle on this custom knife of customer's. This is one killer blade; I cut myself by accident doing the work, its as sharp as a razor, yet as burly as I've ever handled. Wow. heres the "specs"; its a 4-turn turks head knot. ends are buried and you can't tell where it begins or ends. its one single 30' piece of paracord that is tight as hell! now I know what a "big" knife feels like. this is one evil blade. I've gotten permission from the owner to whack some wood with it so I'm very excited for tomorrow! I asked him what its for, and its not a woods blade. he just wanted something wild and pirate-like for a bedside blade. well he got it. I could shave with this thing.

    Indeed; I'd call that a pocket cutlass.

    It looks great and while I'd probably use for more utilitarian purposes, now thinking of it i have about 6 knives within easy reach of the bedside.

    Good job.

    That is some great work on the para cord. I love the blade too.

    Nice work with the handle! That is such a clean looking job with the paracord. What did it have before? It looks like the kydex is shaped for the cord already...

    he did call it an "answer the door knife", perhaps there are other purposes!!!

    before it had a simple series of half hitches in paracord around the handle. kinda "flat" feeling. the turks head fills and rounds it a bit.

    Looks good and mean, but I don't think I want it in bed with me. Scaled down I would like it better.
