3 Examples of hand made knives from DALE SANDBERG at E.D.M.F. out of Selma Oregon. Each was handmade to my specifications. You can choose from many different handle and blade types. You can even choose what color para-cord is wrapped on the handle.

For reference that is a 12 inch scale laying with the knives.





This knife is heavy enough to remove limbs with a single blow if swung hard enough. The blade is over 12" long and laser sharp. While applying a thin layer of oil to the blade to preserve it, I grazed the edge with my finger and ended up with stitches. (dork)
















This one has my initials forged into the guard. I know, it's cheesy.....









This one has USMC forged into the guard

They are wrapped with parachute cord then tied off and hot glued to the handle. Makes a great gripping surface.

Nice knives. I guess it could remove several kinds of "limbs", depending on the need!?!

I played with the parachute chord tonight on my knife

Rafterman
Thanks much it makes a great knife. It's an old Gerber that had the rubber handle worn off. Now it has a parachute handle.
