Leafspring Knife

Celsius — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 05:54:18 GMT

Yes thats right, this filipino weapon is made from the heavy duty leafspring of a car's suspension! The spine of the blade is about 7mm, and weighs in at over 2lbs (thats the same as a katana)! It is full tang, and the handle is made of water buffalo horn. This knife is all business, and will last many generations of heavy hard use. Even though it may not have the fine frills of a factory made blade, the hand craftmanship of this killer has me favoring this guy for many jobs! Plus it looks badass!

Leafspring Knife Makers Mark

The maker of this fine weapon left his signiture, or his mark, you can see on the side of the blade. I think the mark gives it an astetic appeal as well. You can also see the grain at which he machined the blade, also adding to its badass look.

Leafspring Knife blunt tip

This was most likely constructed as a agricultural tool, probably for hacking though an infinite amount of sugar cane. But it can be used as a butchers tool with ease. The flat tip encourages the weapon handler to chop rather than thrust, not a bad strategy being that this thing wieghs so much that you couldnt block this thing even if your life depended on it!

When you hold this baby in your hand, the first word that comes to mind is "genocide".
