Dexter's Kill Bag and Tools

After seeing that clear picture of the base blades real shape under the handle. I'm certain it was 100% custom job.

I made a replica of the bowie knife used in RZ's Halloween II a few years back. I know how this kill knife can be made.

Water jet cut out the handle and knife shape parts out of 440 or 330 stainless steel.

A vector file of the shape is all you need, but you want the make sure you use mm size settings when making it.



You'll also need to figure out the handles true thickness. The blade will be about 3/16 thick

Add tiny holes in your vector art on both the blade and the handles. You can self tap them for the screws thread, and drill the holes out bigger for the side of the knife handle where the screw head sits flush with the handle.


Use an air compressor with a die grinder and some flap grinding wheels to round off the edges on the handles in vice.


I could so make these knives, but I absolutely hated how much time it took for me to make my replica of the H2 knife, so um nope, but it wont be hard for anyone to do, just time consuming.

I know what you mean! My water-jet guy is at a convention but I might get a few blades cut when he gets back. That design would make a cool throwing knife!!

Can we get a vector file made for this knife? If someone here is willing to contribute thier time, I am willing to put forth some funds to get them produced but it would help to have the appropriate files...and of course, we must all agree on the final desgin.
GREAT work Nick!

Thanks a lot Jimmy, awesome fronting some funds. Really appreciate getting this Kill Knife produced.
 
If I can get a decent run produced for the budget I have set for myself, this should be workable. I'd like to have this knife myself so it all works out.
 
Regarding the correct bag I got an email from a supplier


Hi Mike thanks for the inquiry. To answer your question that bag used to be made with the gold labeling about 4-5 years ago which is when we posted the photos on the site, the newer bags are only made with the Messermeister logo in white stitching. So I'm sorry to say you probably will not be able to find a gold embroidered model of that bag. I do have the newer version of the bag in stock it does have the blue line with a white Messermeister label .

so we must make due of what we have with a little modification

I got the color darker

Great news, Jimmy. Please put me on the list and let me know how much you may need as soon as you can so I can start setting it aside. Currently unemployed so I really need to save. Rotten economy.
Do you plan on getting the set?

That looks great Pitbull!!! What did you use to darken? I just got mine today and I'd like to do the same.
I knew the knife roll was an older model!! Good work.
 
As your friend I gotta say that if you're unemployed you have to put your collecting hobby on hold. I've put myself in debt because of this hobby in the past and a lot of that was spending money I didn't have - not that I am accusing you of that or anything - I just want to look out for you. Regarding getting one of the knives, if I can get them made I would put one aside for you for as long as it would take.
Truth is, I really don't know how much these will cost to produce. For all I know, the metal shop will want $50/each with a minimum quantity of 50! I can only invest so much into it, so I am crossing my fingers it all works out.

Thanks a lot Jimmy!! I appreciate you looking out for me, really. Putting one aside would be perfect.
I'm crossing my fingers that this whole thing works out too.

When you get the quote, get one for the whole knife and one for just the blade blank. I'll be able to do the grips and sharpening the blade soon, and probably the blade blanks themselves too. And I know I would be cheaper on all of them...
 
I was messing around with the kill bag so after I colored the stripe in with a fine point blue sharpie I continued to disassemble the messermeister logo off the bag and once I got it off I cut the word out carefully close to the letters.I moved the logo to the proper setting on the bag Then i super glued it back on the bag colored it yellowish gold and tried to darken it which I'm still in the process anyway here's a pic

Looks good Pitbull.
I think it's soon time for me to send you my Nike shoes for a much needed light conversion!! You do good work with passion and I love it!
Back to the knife...
I am hoping to find something out about producing these for sure this Friday...we have to agree on a final design from Nick before then if we could.
 
I'm torn really. Both designs are totally awesome and would both make a great knife replica. If I'm going to invest in having these produced, I want the most preferred version done. Either way, I would be happy - Nick really did an awesome job designing them!
 
How big do you think this knife is lengthwise? I finished the vectors for the blade and handles in inkscape. I used foxes art as a guide.
All I have to do is scale it to the right size, then I'll post it here for free.
Jim Porter of Atlanta Waterjet (678 226 2850) could work with the inkscape files or very high res image capture taken from the inkscape files. All he needs is the art and some measurements- like the pin hole size and the length and width of the blade.

I'm thinking the screw thread bolt size is 2mm, but I'm not sure. If someone can figure out the size of the screws head. I can scale it around that and this sucker will be ready to cut.

The blade is not 3/16 thick. I just looked at my H2 knife and that's too damn thick!

I prefer #2 but either way I will be happy, as long as it gets made.

Now to find the Small Bone saw........ and that's it!!

This may be an expensive venture. I have some options, but right now I have to do some researching and getting quotes. This type of work surely won't come cheap....but I'm hoping I can make it work.

I am saving now! I really am not too concerned with the price. Whatever it may be, I am totally in.
Thanks a lot for the heads up though Jimmy.
