Title: Recurve pig sticker
Post by: srtben on June 09, 2011, 06:53:00 PM

This is a style of blade I have been wanting try for a while and I finally got a chance to finish it and the sheath. It has a convex main and swedge grind. I made this one with a fairly large handle (for me) due to the request from several people. I will definetly be making more of this style in the future. The steel is L6 and the handle is padauk. OAL is 10.5"
Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

P.S. This will be available in the classifieds shortly.

Ben, very nice work!  The whole package is very well done!  I like the handle shape.

Mustard finish?
