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

Re: a couple hollow handle knives
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.

Re: a couple hollow handle knives
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
