Harpoon Fighter

[Erin Burke]

Hi guys. This knife has been finished for a couple of weeks now, but my computer has been on the fritz... so downloading photos and processing was on hold for a while. Apparently tonight, the computer has agreed to start working agian ... so here goes.


Some Stats:
Length: 9-13/16"
Blade : 4-7/8" (Tip to choil)
Steel: W-2 (from Aldo)
Handle: Desert Ironwood scales with Black G10 liners and Corbies

This knife is quite beefy, with a spine thickness of ~1/4" at the front of the scales, and a dramatic distal taper to compensate. The back edge is sharp. I had never used Corbies before, but they seemed to be a good fit for this design.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Pup,
Yep, it's my own design. Below is the original sketch... though the butt-end of the handle was slimmed down during construction.

Thanks again for the words gentlemen.

Clean and elegant. Very nice work. I like that you used a mechanical connection.
