Title: Knife Post by: TexasHogDogs on July 16, 2011, 11:54:08 am I bought this knife at a garage sale don't have any ideal what kind it is are were it came from. But I know one thing about five swipes on the steel and this son of a gun is like a Razor and both sides as a matter of fact while trying to take a pic of it had to be very carefull handing the blade end of it cause it will cut you deep and wide and in a hurry .
Any of yall know anything about a knife like this it has a Rosewood handle I believe and is a very heavy knife. Has some great steel in it .

Looks like cocobolo sp? Or there is another wood that looks like that but can't remember the name of it. How long is the blade?

Title: Re: Knife Post by: TexasHogDogs on July 16, 2011, 12:11:14 pm 7 1/2 inch blade and 13 inches over all . Am guessing 1/8 thick looks like to me. Boy that is some real steel its got in it cant get over how sharp it got and quick quick. Yeah I was just guessing on the the rosewood but I have seen that patteren before cant remember what it is.
