It started as a kitchen knife, but I decided to turn it into a sterile fighter.

Integral Fighter in Forged Titanium and Carbon Fiber
Forged 6AL-4V Titanium from a barstock. 26 cm overall length, 13.5 cm blade (10 1/4" OAL and 5 3/8" blade)
Blade thickness at the bolster is 7 mm (0.27") and it tapers towards the tip.
Carbon Fiber rounded scales with micarta spacers and CF lanyard bead.
Hand made cross draw leather sheath.
Knife weights only 150 grams (5.3 ounces) and sheath weights 125 grams (4.4 ounces)

Any imperfection on the pictures is because of reflections!


















Now since I know you're going to ask, some info from when I forged this:

"To forge the 6AL-4V Ti I took the barstocks to 1000C (yellow) and hammered til they were red (about 900-870C) and then I took the Ti piece to the oven again til it was yellow and started all over again til I got the desired shape. I didn't have my hydraulic press set up back then.

This forging process took me about 3 times the time it takes me to forge 5160 as the Ti gets cold sooner than the steel.

The blades have a 47RC hardness, and I didn't heat treat it after forging, as the Ti got hardened in the process.

I find the behavior of this knives edge wise to a knife made out of 1070 with a hardness of 56RC. After I sharpen them, they get razor sharp and can shave arm hairs. After some use (again, picture a 1070-56RC knife here) they stop shaving hair, and might seem dull, but they keep cutting meat and tomatoes and potatoes with ease.

From what I've read, this is because of the micro structure of the Ti, that makes the edge to resemble a micro saw, so if you move the edge against the food, it will cut like hell still.

Also, I've read that if you reheat Ti several times, it becomes brittle... This is NOT what I found here, as the blades are almost as maleable and flexible as steel ones.

I find this material to be exceptional for kitchen use, as they are light, so after prolongued use you don't get as tired, they don't give any foreign taste to the cutted food like some carbon steels might, and because with a sharpening rod you can get it popping sharp again in some seconds, so if you remember to do that just before each use, you'll have a REALLY light and super sharpened kitchen knife at your disposal."

He decided to make one he could use this hunting season and give some real abuse to see how it holds up. Its 5" blade is made of 7/32" CPM 3V and is 1 3/8" wide. It carries desert ironwood handles. He said just because it was a test knife, that didn't mean that it had to look bad. The tapered tang makes it balance on the index finger.

All wrought iron is from England....not that it makes a difference, just figured i'd add that in.

A buddy and I spent some time abusing it this afternoon. We cut water bottles, gatorade bottles, cardboard tubing, 2x4s, 1/4" copper rod, free hanging 3/4" rope and whatever else we could find hanging out around the garage. (Too much time watching and reading about cutting competitions. :D )

I'm still working on the edge and haven't gotten it as sharp as I'd like but I think it is going to work well for clearing shooting lanes and doing chores around camp. I can't wait to chop some limbs off with it.
