First of all thanks to Kshitij for providing me the knife blank its saves lots of work.
Only part remaining was beveling & final finishing.

Hi there!

Nice Karambit that.. Did you fashion that sheath yourself? Am thinking of some DIY holsters & stuff. Could you recommend the appropriate thickness & where to source the material from?
DIY design & fabrication details would be greatly appreciated! :)

Pratik, getting the blanks made is the easiest part. Finishing it the way you do is the difficult and skill intensive part. The blade has come out really well and will make a neat little neck knife. Envy the guy who gets it :D

Is it a question or complement?
I am going to take it as a complement :D



@Kshitij
for you making blanks is easiest part because you have the resources but for me cutting a round hole like in this knife is very difficult.

@SD
Already accepted the suggestion & working on it

Thank for your wishes Chicky

The Claw is no flaw
Its there with a purpose,
To a bottle it acts as an opener
and to a skull it can lead to a comatose :cry:
