New Designs

[SubVet10]

I used an online design tool to modify these bad boys from a template. The site also has a waterjet cutting service.
The EDC and the thrower are 3.2mm. The tanto is 5mm width. All are 80CRV2.

Tanto is my favorite style blade. How long is that one?

Agreed! I like them as well.
OAL is 12.63"

Love all of them but that tanto is awesome!

The tanto is for my FIL. He is almost finished with a replica of the last Rambo knife.
The EDC are for more discreet carry & use. A friend of mine is a building inspector. I will be giving one to him so he can handle any rogue cardboard boxes, fish or bipedal gremlins.
The others I wrestled with the design for a long time. One of my brothers is big into Filipino martial arts (and others). For a while I was going to make him a kiridashi type blade. With these he can throw, stick or slice as required.

Thrower ground to .02" with 60 grit. Sanded w/ 120, 320 & 600. I us a 6x36" grinder so the plunge lines are not "perfect" but they are symmetrical based on whether it was ground on the left side or right side of the belt.
I have a few ready for heat treating now for when I build my forge.
