I've been commissioned to produce 4 Zulu assegai blades. The shafts will be made and fitted by someone else and then mounted to be presented to 4 of South Africa's top surfer veterans at this year's International Ballito Pro surfing contest. Here is the first blade done...

Thanks Brandant

This one has a 3mm 304 stainless steel pin. The construction is known as a Birdseye pivot. It has a 8mm disc or washer on each end. The pin holes are drilled through the disc and then the 3mm pin is peened on the outside....hope that makes sence:p

That looks great, well done

Here is my latest slippy. I'm loving this design and will be making more of them soon. Calling this one the Bushbaby. Blade is N690 Handle: Carbon fiber with red G10 liners. AOL: 157mm Closed: 90mm

Thanks John, The handle is green dyed Hessian or Burlap micarta, that is locally made in South Africa. I have not worked with a lot of micarta, but compared to other micarta I have worked with, this stuff is great. I love the rough texture.

Thanks Johan, Not skilled enough to do courses on the slippies yet. Hopefully soon
