...this may interest some of you.

Over the past months, the owner of Sunshine Knife Outlet and I have been designing a style of knife which I would be inclined to say fits the Indy era. While a knife like this was never featured in any of the films, it does have the appearance of something Indy might have carried. If nothing else, the knife would make a nice collector's piece.

My question for you is:
What do you think? If the knife was put into production, would any of you buy it? What are your opinions? Any input is helpful.

Here's a link to a pic of the knife itself:

*Note: This knife was designed as a throwing knife; hence, the blade is dull. I might be able to see if the blade could be sharpened for those of you that are not knife throwers.

P.S.: Sorry if this post is slightly off topic, but I just thought I would share this...

Nice Knife. Looks sharp for a throwing knife.

I have a Huge interest in knives, I make all my own, and that looks good, But not indy. An indy knife would have to Be Good looking, yet functional. Powerful, yet Carriable. Maybe a 5 Inch Bowie Folder, for example.

Take a Look at the SOG Tomcat with the Cocobola handle - That is distinctively indy.

SOG makes a good knife.

I think this is a pic of the Cocobolo wood handle

ITG:
Yeah, the knife does look a little sharp, but it does not have a sharp edge. I have actually thrown this knife by the blade with the edged part facing inwards (a normal blade throw would have been difficult because of the way the end of the blade curves). The knife was designed more with use as a throwing knife in mind, so no sharp edge was added.

Charles and Indiana Joe:
While I agree that the SOG knife looks more Indyesque than this knife, I do have one comment to restate: This knife was designed to be a throwing knife. Don't get me wrong, I like a good folding knife as much as anybody, but a folding knife was not what I was going for with this particular knife.
If it is the look or size of this knife that bothers you, then an SKO Bo-Kri might be more along the lines of what you're looking for. Here's a link:

While the length of a normal Bo-Kri is 13.5", there is a Mini Bo-Kri available (overall length is 10.5"). Something like either of those is more reasonably sized. Mind you, it would be very difficult for SKO to produce a small knife. This company makes throwing knives only. As for the feasability of making a small thrower, that would be dangerous as far as one's health is concerned. Smaller knives, when thrown, spin through the air much faster, causing them to bounce back much faster if they don't stick in the target.
Moving out of my knife-throwing lesson, I would just like to say that I am sorry that the knife I started this thread about was not of interest to you. Being a knife-thrower, I am typically drawn to long, wide-bladed knives. When I started thinking of this knife, I was going after a knife that could be thrown, but still look alright with Indy gear.

Well, I've rambled on long enough...
