Custom EDC Hookbill-The ultimate Lineman knife-

[@darylbrenton4839]

Like an ultra-aggressive Wharncliffe knife. What a cutter! Well done. Great explanation of the advantages of this style of knife and demonstration of its power.

Very cool! Curved edges are always my favorite for cutting. I have a Klein stripping knife, it’s a bit different of a curve, maybe more like a hook. That’s a cool knife for sure, if I was still stripping wire daily for a living I’d have to get one for sure to pull out on the job.

@@BadlandsRifleman thanks! Really glad you like it, it was a fun project for sure. I didn’t even know this knife was so often used by electricians but I’m realizing there is a decent demand for it! Thanks for the comment

Thanks! I’d never cut with one like this before, it going through that 2x4 blew my mind. It’s not ultimately versatile but it’s extremely good at what it specializes in.

Yes, some knives can be used for almost anything, like the Accipiter. Others, either due to size or shape, are very specialised but they do the job well. Otherwise, one design would fit all uses. This is like a cross between the Sheepsfoot knife and a recurve, with double the power for cutting with the tip.

@@darylbrenton4839 yes actually I’d really like to make a sheep’s foot or seax version of this, that would be awesome!
