      Thought I'd show y'all few of my knife designs...

      Well, as many times as I've mentioned my future occupation, I still haven't shown off any of my designs, so I thought I'd do that here. These are mostly utilitarian designs; though I do have a few slightly fancier designs, I have yet to scan them in.


      This is a larger knife, the largest one I've drawn to date. Approx. 7" blade.


      This one is a scaled-down version of a design that I had made by Justin Gingrich, of Ranger Knives.


      A pretty random one I (very) loosely based off of an idea for a fixed-blade version of the BM Vex.


      This is a wharnecliffe design that is still in progress, as you may can tell, the handle needs a bit of work, as the proportions are off a bit.


      Another basic, simple utility design.


      An extremely basic design, based loosely off of a multitude of bushcraft blades.


      I drew this one up to spec for my sister, she wants me to make it for her when I get going. I'm not crazy about the design myself, but it came out exactly as she wanted, according to her. And I guess she'd know.


      I rather like this one. Unlike most of the others, this would have a stick tang instead of slab handles, and a hollow grind instead of the full flat or convex grind that most of the others would have.



      There you have it, a few of my sketches of knife designs. Let me know what y'all think.

      Hot bad, man.

      I like the largest one (second from the top), with the little groove over the top of the hilt. I usually go for more Eastern style daggers and fantasy knives, myself, but I still love a good tactical-folder. Heh.

      I liked the first one a lot. Are any of them folding knives (if that's the correct term...)?

      I would like to place an order.
      Could you have 3000 sample pacts ready by noon today?

      You will be seeing me soon MOS. I have pictures of those switch blades now.
      I will post them in your other thread.

      I personally like the one you drew up for your sister.

      Thanks, guys! Brandon, sure thing. Oneironaut, that would be the Mini-AUCK (Advanced Utility Carry Knife). I carry the full-size version on my walks.


      Goldney, thanks, and no, they're all fixed blades (and yes, that is the correct term).


      Howie, hehe, not just yet, I'm afraid. But soon I'll be up and going. And good deal, I'll keep an eye on the other thread for your post.

      Really cool man.

      I could really use one of those to stab people who don't agree with me.



      Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
      Look out on a summers day,
      with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.

      Haha, sure, CB.


      I got a few more scanned in, figured I'd post 'em.


      This is one a friend asked me to draw up for a forum knife, for the GameFAQs Star Wars Board in fact. It's called the "223", after the board number.


      This one I drew awhile back, but apparently lost the copy I had scanned in. A little fancier than my usual fare, as is the last one.


      Based off of one of two ideas I had for a fixed-blade Opinel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinel


      And this is the other idea I had, the first one in fact. Pretty much a straight-up Opinel #8, only fixed-bladed instead of folding.

      That's all, just those four.
