Hi,

Enjoy,

Nice unique blades. Any more information? I'm having trouble finding any info on the "Delta Palm Knife". Looks like it was made to be used... How do you carry it if you don't mind me asking.

They are all my own design, made from saw blade. A fair bit of thought went into each one. The tanto is a compromise between easy packing and serious cutting, it has great balance in any grip, and is very maneuverable. Its a great thrower too.

A palm knife is a common term generally describing a cross between a push dagger and a small knife. I call mine Deltas because that is the blade shape I.e. delta=triangle.
I tried several blade shapes from tanto to claw types but found an even triangular blade was the most versetile. I use mine all the time at work. The are incredibly handy and potent.

Carry Any way you like, clipped on your belt, IWB, slip them in a pocket etc. they are flat in section and thus very low profile. I use either polymer or metal formed sheaths.

Regards
Josh

did you do time in the joint no offence but that one looks like a shank. but jokes aside how are they working out. functional, handy, hold an edge, that kinda thing. i'm curious cause i've wondered about doing the same thing with an old file for a hunting knife and a saw blade for a fillet knife for fishing.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have never even been near a "joint." LOL

Actually I thought it was a fairly PC looking knife.

I've found them very functional, I used to be into large blades a lot until I realized that smaller knives are simply more practical and controlable.

This type of steel needs to be ground pretty thing to get a good edge, though when you get there it is very sharp, Fibrous materials will dull the edge more than I expected, but they aren't hard to resharpen. I'm not not scared of using mine to trim sheetmetal or steel swarf or even gouging out weld spatter from places I can't get a file/die grinder etc.

I would say go for it, knife making is very rewarding. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards
Josh
