Hi guys
Well after talking with a local police department Tac Team buddy of mine I got the idea to build a large tactical based knife. He wanted something he could mount vertically on his MOLLE gear system and use as a back up or last resort weapon. He wanted something fairly large so after a few drawings i made for him we settled on this design.
Its a large frame false edge tactical knife. OAL is 11.5" with a 6" blade and 5.5" handle. I used the basic handle design that i have used on my last few hunting knives, i have been very happy with the grip ability after stabbing a few pigs with them. The steel is CPMs-30V on this first knife, really just because i had some left over that i hadnt used yet.
i will include a pic of the progress so far, just cut out and ground out the blank, I love having the metal cutting bandsaw in the shop now!!! Im gonna name this design LR-1 (last resort 1)
thanks
steve
