Hollow Handle Knife

[Tom Militano]

Here's one I just finished up that's going to a young man in the 82nd Airborne Div. The handle is the one of the survival hollow handles from the USA Knifemaker supply site. I hollow ground the blade out of 5160. The OAL is 12 3/8", blade is 6 7/8", 1/4" thick, and 1" wide. I bead blasted the entire knife when I was done. Hope the picture works. I have no idea how to make the picture smaller.

I have no idea what kind of sheep it was. Someone sent me a set that had to be cut off a ram because they were growing into it's face and he was having problems eating. They are heavier than they look.
