Small Stag Boot Knife

[Bill Behnke]

This knife is one of a new pattern that I like to make. The blade is a two bar twist Damascus with 1080 and 15n20 steel. The scales are Sambar stag; the pin is 1//8" dia. mosiac and the lanyard hold is 304 stainless. I have a faux edge on the spine which gives me a median that is offset of center and makes the thin blade rigid for a knife of this size.
Thanks for looking.~Bill

I like that blade Bill, but not sure what you mean by "a median that is offset of center" ?

 

[Bill Behnke]

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. I guess what I meant is for example a dagger has a median line down the middle of the blade and is naturally this is the blade's thickess and strongest part. My blade's thickess section is off center ( not down the middle) of the blade. I think that it give the blade a nice look, makes it more rigid and feels good as well. I hope this helps. From the other Behnke- Bill
