'His & Her' Black Palm Fighters         X-014 & X-015: 'His & Her' Black Palm Fighters Congratulations to Chris and Ashley Stark!! All my best wishes for your future...and may your first child be a masculine child... ;~) Built to commemorate the union of two people who also happen to be skilled in their use...these prototype fighters are built to take a beating! The pair sports solid blades of 1/4" 5160 carbon steel with a slightly re-curved edge and a sharpened offset top clip. The high carbon steel provides superior cutting and edge holding ability over conventional stainless. The full tang handles, masked with scales of black palm and nickel silver bolsters and pins, are ground for a more ergonomic, comfortable feel in a variety of hand positions. Obviously, one knife is scaled to smaller proportions to fit a smaller hand...though it is equally as deadly in the hand it was built for ;~) While these pieces were special commissions and are not available for sale, I can craft others of similar design upon request!   X-014 Steel - 5160 Carbon Tang Construction - Full Handle Material - Black Palm Wood w/ Nickel Silver pins Bolster Material - Nickel Silver Blade Length - 6" Cutting Edge - 5 1/2" Overall Length - 10 1/2" Balance Point - At Bolster Sheath - Hand stitched and tooled leather welt (Black) X-015 Steel - 5160 Carbon Tang Construction - Full Handle Material - Black Palm Wood w/ Nickel Silver pins Bolster Material - Nickel Silver Blade Length - 5" Cutting Edge - 4 1/2" Overall Length - 9 1/2" Balance Point - At Bolster Sheath - Hand stitched and tooled leather welt (Black) Order Information   Return to Knife Gallery     Copyright 2008, West Coast Bladecraft
