Langsaex in the style of the 5th-6thC.  The 5160 spring steel blade is differential-tempered to HRc58-60 at the cutting edge and drawn back to HRc45-48 through the spine and tang.  The furniture is of mild steel and the grip is hardwood. The tang is passed through the pommel and butt-riveted to secure the hilt.  The guard is attatched to the blade with loww-temp silver solder.  Inspired by museum pieces currently in collections in Europe, this is not a copy of a specific museum piece but rather is styled to be consistent with pieces from this period. 

EvoCFK Prototype


EvoCFK stands for Evolution Compact Fighting Knife.  A fixed blade fighter based on the TFDS folding fighting knife, this knife features a 4-3/4 inch long .210 inch thick 5160 spring steel blade, full tang construction and G10 scales retained by screws.  The chisel grinds of the blade are true zero-ground chisel grinds- there is no secondary edge bevel.  Overall length is 9-5/8 inches. 

Utility Kukri


This short kukri style knife features a 7-1/2 inch long/ 3/4 inch thick selectively hardened 5160H spring steel blade with a 'zero ground' or 'rolled' edge.  The temper line is clearly visible in the photograph above.

Camp Knife

 
Hand-Sax inspired by saxes of the 5th-9thC. AD


 
The CSD is the kukri like knife on the left-top and on the right.

This is the Oasis Fighter- inspired in part by middle-eastern daggers but mostly
by a pair of daggers carried by the Oasis character in the Sluggy Freelance web comic!
