pig sticker/ zombie slayer

Well, while I am waiting on some materials for the knives I have on order, I decided to heat treat and test a big knife I have been working on a little at a time. Its about 14-15" long and made out of 1/4" thick 1084 steel. I am waitinf on some mesquite scales big enough for the large handle. It still has the scale from the heat treat on it. I have whacked a few 2x4 with it and the edge holds up good. It is not really a chopper since there is no weight at the tip, but does bite into the wood. Hogs and zombies might have nightmares about this one.:scared: I will clean up the blade and add the scales when time permits. Whatcha think?

Thats COOL ! I Like it :)

Now that is a fighting knife!

I would really love to see that with some scales and a guard. The blade itself is very pleasing to the eye and looks very durable.

I may try a guard on the next one, that sounds like a great idea. On this one I may just deepen the area where the index finger goes. But as is it feels really good. The steel is 1/4" at the handles so maybe 1/8" or 1/4" handle material is needed. Thanks guys!

i've lately been playing around with forged copper guards. not terribly practical, but fun to do.

if you do any, be sure to post and tell us.

good looking knife.

Nice looking knife, looks like a stout working blade.

Lets see some pig sticking videos with that knife bro!

that is my absolute favorite blade style...i'd be interested in having one..could you PM me please sir...

looks like a great carver for thanksgiving. Perfect size for a big ol' bird.

I really do like the shape of that one. Looks like it would handle quite a few task. What is the weight like, and balance point.

What's not to like? That is going to be one handsome knife when you give it a shower and get it dressed up.

Right now with out the scales its balance point is right at the plunge line. That will change once the scales are added. I was going to taper the tang since it is 1/4" thick there. It is a little heavy, and with the 12 degree on each side of the edge it bites into wood and slices paper well. I left the edge thick before sharpening so it would have a more durable edge for hacking through wood. I might thin it out a bit and maybe, just maybe taper the tang. It is already heat treated so I don't want to mess with the tempering so well see how this goes.

I finally got around to putting on some mesquite handles on this big boy. I cleaned up the blade and then wrapped it in paper towel soaked in white vinegar for the antique look. I have been chopping 2x4's and logs left and right. My neighbors must think I am nuts. Hehehe...

That is such a cool looking utilitarian blade. I like it a lot.

It looks awesome Frank.

That is really nice work. You have skills, brother.
