Not a very original design

But I like how it came out...

It only took 8 pounds of titanium to make this 9 oz handle. :)

I didnt have any 2 inch wide titanium, so I have to make it out of 2 pieces of 1 inch Ti and dovetail the sides together. The tang wedges in and locks it all in place. Made the blade an inch longer than the originals because I wasnt gonna cut an inch off and toss it.





















the sheath is made out of G10



New and old, I couldnt resist



Thanks for looking! :)
 
wow the knife is amazing. really dig the handle and how you decided to finish it.
oh and that last picture is money!!!!
 
I bet this one has a better balance than the original, that big chunk of brass is heavy...
Well done man.
 
Outstanding dovetail joints, very cool knife.

that is just about the most complex, "simple," handle I have ever seen. The dovetailing was a great idea, and more, you did it seamlessly. Did you have a DRO on the mill? Even with one, that is still impressive as hell.
The blade is beautiful, and the point on the pommel made from pweld is a great touch.

Do you have to take any precautions when milling and grinding titanium (like so you don't make a big fire or something)?

really great job!
 
Holy Trench Knife, Batman!!!! Looks great and very handy for a back alley confrontation. Merry Christmas to you and Bianca.
