Snake Knife


This knife is not a replica.  It looks similar to a kriss dagger, but none were ever made of stone or glass.  I sometimes call this my Christmas Knife because of the red and green colors.  The blade was made from a piece of old store front glass.  The handle was made from a piece of paduka wood from Africa.  The handle will eventually become the head of the snake.
Total Length: 34.5 cm (13.58 in).
Blade Length (Straight Line): 23.8 cm (9.37 in); Blade Length (Along the Curve): 27.0 cm (10.63 in); Blade Width: 3.21 cm (1.26 in); Blade Thickness: 0.73 cm (0.29 in).
Handle Length: 10.5 cm (4.13 in); Handle Width (Widest): 4.79 cm (1.89 in); Handle Width (Narrowest): 3.27 cm (1.29 in); Handle Thickness (Middle): 2.82 cm (1.11 in).
