Oh, man...

. That things beautiful! Like... It must've been forged by the hands of supermodels that used Italian design concepts as their blueprint inspiration.

Perfect shape, colour, and layout.

With a story attached to it

A brass skull head knuckleduster Commando knife completed today.

This is a reproduction of a 1950's version of the WW2 skull head knuckleduster knife, usually known as the Middle East Commando Knife.

The customer is a US Marine whose ancestor once carried the very same form of knife in theatre. This one is soon destined to be carried in his memory in a current theatre of operations.

God speed to all troops who may yet face and know the grim realities of steel and war.

I am a nerdtastic "Dune" fan and have always wanted a jambiya-type knife as I've always envisioned the blades from that tale to be. I've also always thought the Yemeni/Southern Arabian Peninsula tradition of wearing the jambiya in the front sash as pretty badass. Sooooo I finally bought a jambiya from Atlanta Cutlery which is basically the storefront for Windlass Steelcrafts. I smoked over the traditional Persian/Indian version they offer but decided on the modernized version as it was full tang. The blade is 9.5" long and is 3/16" thick

It has rubber handle scales that smell like a tire shop but lock your grip in rock solid. They are removeable and that gives me the project of working some wood, bone or horn into a fancier set of handle scales. I can't wait to get started as soon as I decide on the material.

The balance and feel is fantastic and it dances in my hand despite being such a large blade. The extremely curved tip is unlike any I've ever owned but it still produces a good stab wound on some guilty boxes by the front door.

The sheath is just stiff leather and a bit thin around the mouth with no reinforcing band. It does have a good metal tip and a large stainless steel stud for tucking it inside your belt. I like that as I do a lot of my projects at night in my shop out back and in addition to a pistol I like to tuck a Bowie in my belt for the walk in the dark.

All in all I am very pleased and have always liked all of the Windlass products I've handled. For $50 it was a great buy.

Okay - That's a badass knife. I like that. Not as much as a Bowie - but still. That's a beast.

Thanks. It's double edged too so that wicked hook is sharp on the concave

Speaking of sharp and pointy, someone on here posted a pic of a tanto design that I found a thing of beauty... and I can't find the blessed post, to ask who made it.

Anyone care to 'fess up?

coelacanth · « **Reply #110 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:06:35 pm »

Was it in this thread or some other ?

booksmart · « **Reply #111 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:15:46 pm »

Wasn't in this thread or the "One Gun/One Knife"... I've gone through those backwards and forwards...

I bet you are remembering one of the threads featuring Ken Brock's blades. Do a site search using those words and it will pull them up for you.

His stuff is all business and good looking besides.

I still intend to own one of his Double D models before its all said and done.

booksmart · « **Reply #113 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:52:41 pm »

It wasn't a Brock blade though - I remember the maker's mark looking like it incorporated an M and an I, IIRC (I remember the M, speculating on the I).

OK - now you've got my curiosity aroused. I'll see if I can find it.

booksmart · « **Reply #115 on:** January 07, 2016, 03:22:45 pm »

The really sad part is I saved the pic to one of my computers - and I can't remember which one.

Growing old sucks, man... LOL

OK . Just spent far too long looking at old threads. An effort notable chiefly for its lack of success in finding any such blade as you described it.

booksmart · « **Reply #117 on:** January 07, 2016, 04:50:22 pm »

The profile was similar to a Gerber Warrant, but longer, without the serrations (really wish they made that blade with a clean profile... serrations on a tanto ain't right), and with wood scales.

Freakin' gorgeous, it was.

coelacanth · « **Reply #118 on:** January 07, 2016, 09:39:13 pm »

Not sure if it was what you are remembering but there are some very similar designs, minus the serrations, over at Entrek USA .

I think the "Survivor" has particularly clean lines for a general purpose tanto style blade .
