Message: <blockquote data-quote="08H3" data-source="post: 4388225" data-attributes="member: 30568">I have made a couple larger sheepsfoot blades in the past in the 4.5-6" range. from 1/8" or 5/32" steel I cant remember its been a while. The only big concern to me with that Wharncliff design is the longer you make it from thinner steel the thinner and more easily the tip will break, not if but when. A little of that can be combated with a short hollow grind vs a saber grind but it shill makes for a weak tip with thin steel, which is why most larger ones are likely thicker like 3/16" or so... For me, I haven't made any larger Wharncliffes just due to how long it took me to sell smaller ones, since my market was more to outdoors and bushcrafters not self defense styles.</blockquote>
