    small knife design , your input. Pt 2...

    So one of the things I loved about the lock down was I had time to actually sit down and get a few ideas that had being floating around in my head for awhile started.
    As some of you may recall I designed three small fix blade knifes to discuss.

    The feedback was awesome, thanks guys. Everyone had a favorite be it blade or handle shape.
    One that did get a lot of votes was I think blade "A" combined with handle "C" and what was even more exciting is a kind forum member hit the go button for a build.
    The knife hit all his design / function requirements but let me indulge myself on the eye candy side of the build which as a sign writer I really enjoy ( colours , materials etc )
    So here is the first "small knife build " from that thread, thanks to the member for both the support and patience as well as being a good bugger to deal with.
    As the first one he even got to name the model along my snake theme so this model is a "Krait" Name:  small knife 2.JPG

    I like it but something to gauge it size would be handy.

    For what it’s worth I would prefer a ‘chunkier’ handle - but that’s just me!

    Looks the shiz.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Blade is 85 - 90mm and handle is 105 mm, can't do full full hunting knife comparison as it was posted today.
    Hopefully we may see the Krait in action with a few animals over the coming months.

    Nice work, I like it. How many beer tokens would this set one back?

    That Krait is definitely worth more than a crate... Beautiful and functional. Love it!
