Naked Snake's Survival Knife (Metal Gear Solid 3)

[Sandman0077]

Modeled this one for an Army buddy who loves the MGS series. It's basically just a modified Kabar knife.





I added a regular leather handle to it instead of the wrapped handle from the game.















I plan on getting it CNC'd out of 1095 Carbon Steel, then finish it up as a functional knife for him as a gift. I'll update as I progress.

Eager to see this come together! I've always wanted to tackle this project as well.

One neat thing about this knife is that it was originally located on Snake's chest in early trailers and promo images for the game.

Any progress?
