New (Sharp and Pointy) Toy from Eric

[Peter Remling]

I just rec'd this from Eric and I wanted everyone to see an example of his work.

The blade is a full 7 inches: a good length for a all purpose camp/defense blade. I can debone a fish, cut small branches and still have a good sized backup.

The overall length is just over a foot with a blade width at the guard of 1 7/16".

It came useable sharp as a all purpose blade should be.

The wood grip feels good in hand and the color looks great, way better than the pic. The grip is designed with a "ledge" which will decrease the likelihood of my hand sliding down onto the blade even when slick with water/blood.


I believe he already posted some pics here and elsewhere but I took some new ones including an inhand.

The inhand shot is at a slight angle, the knife is bigger than it appears.

I would heartily reccommand one of Eric's blade and look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

When I get around to making a scabbard I'll post a pic.

Hey Pete. I was hoping it got there today. I'm glad you like it.

Up next: Hmm. I'm playing with a double-edged short sword forged from 1/4" 1095. We'll see how that comes out. I also have some six other knives on order at the present. Hopefully I can post pics soon.

Sorry it took so long to get to you.

That is a very nice looking blade.

Holy crap that thing's beefy! Looking at the first few photos it looked the size of one of my modern pocketknives. Then I saw the in hand photo and nearly soiled myself.

VERY nice work, Eric!

Pete, when you make that scabbard, could you do a sort of build-along with photos of that project? I'm going to hopefully need to make one myself rather soon.

[Eric C]

Thanks Greg. Yeah, she's beefy. Heavy too. I need to invest in a kitchen scale so I know how heavy my knives are.

Nice looking blade!


Someday I will own something like that.

Great Blade!
