here's yet another new design for the new year. this is a variant of our BullDozer model. this one is 7.75" long and cut from a thick slab of 5160 spring steel. very stark, raw look and a mean little carry knife. one of my personal favorites to make. it has a rounded spine with some notches and whatnot along the spine. if i ever get some extra time, i am going to make myself one with some nice black horn scales. this one is more in keeping with my apocalypse theme for 2012.

I like it. Very utilitarian minimalist look. Well done.

thanks. the finish is just a few household chemicals in the proper proportions. cold blue and bleach.

Nice. I like simple unique designs like this.

The etching is similar to this Fiddleback blade.

Off to google...that is an incredible liikong finish. Beats my scale finish 1000%

I like the design and finish. It would look killer with some thin G10 multi color and textured scales.

i am probably going to a run of these with different handle treatments. i am making one for myself with black horn scales. i am into natural materials lately.
