Sidearms & Scatterguns BullDozer with Black Vein

[liontribe]

this is an older design with our new Black Vein treatment. it is cut from O-1 tool steel and wears dymondwood scales. the pins are antique iron. it is just about 8.5" long with a 4" blade. i am about to start on a black and tan kydex sheath for this one. that should match up pretty well.

Re: BullDozer with Black Vein

Pretty to look at, but a fast slip forward and your fingers slide right on to the edge. Honestly, forget the swoopy and put a graceful stop on the heel. Absolutely no thrusting with that design.

Perhaps like this..

Re: BullDozer with Black Vein

that is why all edges are aggressively textured for a secure grip and the last half inch of blade is not completely sharpened.

just trying to help here..Its just not enough. Your hand, if wet, will just go.

On this one, I had to top break and bottom heel..

You can really go at the top with real working thumb cuts,rear of the blade top, not on it, or perhaps a finger rise on the handle ( top or bottom as the side is useless)?

Anything other than a swoop to blade, sharp or not. I would also say with a blade that short you want 100% razor sharp. A good deal of work is done right there.

Re: BullDozer with Black Vein

until you hold one in your hand you cannot make such statements. i have carried one for years and never had a problem. the extreme degree of the curve almost holds your hand in place. you would have to thrust the knife into something fairly solid with all your upper body strength and then almost completely let go of the handle to experience any slip like you describe. i would not recommend that action with any knife. not to mention, i am not sure why in the world anyone would do that in the first place. this is not some tactical, chop socky "fighting" knife that many guys are so enamored with these days. this is just a knife, despite it's somewhat exotic looks. if it was so simple to slip in the hand. it would have happened to me, the maker, hundreds of times by now. i have been carrying a similar knife on and off for years. never a problem. don't foresee any, either. i have sold many of this particular profile to LEO and military. if there was going to be a problem, they would have found it. thanks for your concern, though.

Made in good ole Tennesee. Google Graham Brothers knives. I think only one brother is still making them though.
