For the Professional Soldiers...
I am in the design process of making two knives. One is going to be a spear point and one is going to be a tanto. They will both be flat ground. Both will be made out of 1095 or O-1 steel. I will be heat treating and doing the "home made cryogenics" thing. The blades will be from 5.5-6", unless otherwise advised, and from 3/16 - 1/4". Probably will be 3/16", unless otherwise advised.
What I would like to do, if it is ok, would be to offer these two knives to any two of you that is active duty. This would be for free. Well, not for free. You guys have done so much for this country, our way of life, that you have certainly paid for the knives many times over. Also, whoever takes the knives would be able to give me feedback on the design.
I'm not looking at making a buck on this. I'm looking to get back into law enforcement- doing what I think I'm supposed to be doing.
But, if I could create a knife that would work for those going into harm's way, and supply it to those that would appreciate and use it, that would be great. I'm not advertising. I've got a back porch, some files, an eight inch grinder and a 4X36 sander. I'm not looking to "cut" into anybody's lane. I don't qualify, but hey, I want to do something for you guys.
I'm not sure how to divvy these two knives up, when I get them done, but I think it can be worked out. Any and all suggestions as to the design are welcome, and thanks for everything.
