with one exception all knives are made with 1095 steel 1/8th inch thick, forged to shape, are overall hardened and then tempered along the spine.
the cleaver was forged from 5160 1/4 inch thick that was then edge quenched.
the edge geometry of all the knives is flat bevel from spine to edge.
ok here we go!
descriptions will be name, handle and pin material, overall length, blade length.
lets start with the Hiridashi, ie Japanese utility knife, wrapped in paracord, 1 1/4 inch wide at widest point 7/8 at thong hole, oal 6 inches
next up is a interpetation of a 14th century English every day carry style knife in profile, with lacewood scales and pinned in brass
oal is 10 inches, blade from rear of belly to tip is about 5 inches
here's a "dogs paw" skinner done with bubinga and pinned in steel. oal is 7 2/8 with the blade at 4 and 3/4 inches
this next piece comes with a sheath already. its a wharncliff style blade with a bubinga handle pinned in brass, oal is 9 and 3/4 inches, blade from choil edge to point is 4 and 3/4 inches
heres a couple of bushcrafter style knives
the first is done in panga panga pinned in steel, OAL 9 and 1/2 with a blade length of 4 and 3/4 from choil to tip
this second is done in bubinga pinned with steel again oal 9 and 1/2 inches with a blade 4 1/2 inches from choil to tip
heres a smallsaex done with wrought fittings and birdseye maple handle. OAL is 14 and 1/2 inches with a 9 inch blade
this next is a cross between a tactical and a bushcrafter in profile, handle is pangapanga, crossgrained, its pinned with brass. OAL is 11 inches blade is 6 inches from choil to tip
last but certainly not least is my take on a camp cleaver
handled in 1/4 in thick carbon fiber, pinned in brass, this bad boy is 1/4 inch thick along its spine. AOL of 9 inches with a blade edge length of 4 7/8 inches with a blade width of 2 inches from spine to edge
