A couple hard use Tacticals

[Benr.t]

I was feeling kinda Tactical these week, so I made a couple of my favorite models. The bigger one is my B.D.U. Scout and the chubby one is my ED Tac Bowie. I gave them kind of a retro military feel with OD Green G10 and red liners. The pins are carbon fiber. They have a blued/stonewashed finish and I also blued the tang all the way around.

All comments are welcome, thanks for looking!

Good stout looking battle knives- well done.

Airborne!

Ben,
I really like the blade designs, your grinds and everything else, my only concern, from the pictures mind you, would be the almost right angles on the corners of the scales. I know the airborne are tough, but even their hands will get hot spots and maybe bleed if they had to work hard with those corners for a hour or two cutting up rope or digging through a grouted brick wall etc?

If you just knocked off a radius on the four sides of the handles they should still fit in the sheaths with good retention and be more user friendly. You asked?

Cheers.

What do you use for blueing the blades? I really like the looks of these knives.
