Blade is 10" and 3 " wide. You can see more info on it of my website. It's not really a survival knife. Its more of a fighting knife. Thanks,

[50pushups]

The psychological reaction of me to watching this video is I WANT ONE.

[ArcherOut]

@50pushups And one of them wants you LOL. Thank you.

[LANDnLIFE]

amazing work on the blade! what steel did you use? I'm curious about the balance of the blade, where is it?

Thank you for uploding this great video, and I really like your channel!

Best regards

[ArcherOut]

@LANDnLIFE Thank you. The blade is 3/16 5160 steel. The balance is right about where the back of the leaf shape starts to come in. About an inch or inch and 1/2 above the handle. A little top heavy.

Badass. Could it chop off a limb i wonder.

[ArcherOut]

@burzum6man Thanks. I suppose so, but I don't recommend you trying :)

That looks like a cross in between a roman gladius and a hatchet( super kukri). I want one........

[bastien067]

great design .. it remembers me a roman pugio

[norcaltke857]

thats a nazi killing machine right there

[NocturnalBreather]

do you think that this would be a good bush knife as a 1 tool option? and how wide is the blade at its widest? and how long is the blade and the handle?

by the way, nice work!

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

Definitely not made to Fairbairn's specifications, but looks nice regardless.

[recurveninja]

Seeing as how it has a double edged blade and is a bit on the small side (for a short sword), wouldn't that make it a Dagger?

[OneManWolfPak]

@50pushups i want this about 3 feet long
