I wanted to make a knife, so I based this on the idea of crocodile dundee's most famous one liner.
The blade is 12 3/4" long. It weighs 2 1/4 lbs. Made from a flat bar of 8670 steel 1/4" thick. The cross guard is 1 piece solid brass, and the handle scales are cut from thermally modified rippled syacamore, with 2 solid brass pins and one brass mosaic pin.
