    Default a couple hollow handle knives

    i did these at the end of last year/beginning of this year.
    the only parts i bought were the compasses and the Eze Lap.
    blades are 6mm thick Bohler N690,hand finished.
    tubes are 316 ss with Al caps.
    the "bowie" is 12.4 in oal with a 701 in blade.
    the large is inspired by Jimmy Lile's,although it isn't a "tribute" knife.
    14.4 oal with a 9.5 blade.

    all the best for the new year
    thanks for looking

    Hollow handle is cool. Is it waterproof? Could be an awesome survival knife with some matches or a flint and a R200 note etc etc.

    yeah it's waterproof,that's what the o-ring is for.
    i machined a recess in the handle for the o-ring,for a better seal
