Use

The Coconut King is made to cut down- racks of 12 nuts, from the top of of a coconut tree, efficiently severing the 2" stalk than slice of top of husk -ream out 2 of 3 holes... drink!

 

The idea for the Coconut King started out as an amoebae like particle fluttering it's short stumpy cilia toward a cutting edge survival advantage and gradually over the course of 3 years evolved out of the soupy like ferment of my brain, it wasn't easy yearly it molted an inefficient design too heavy or too dangerous A sever under bite,two species went extinct one other leads a productive life in another habitat, finally after agonizing deliberation,so much like the rest of creation, it all coalesced in a gestalt flash!!! an ecstatic vision!a sleek predator was born, suckled on the rich milk of the coconut it was soon clawing its way up the highest trunks gnashing its teeth in defiance at all the inferior brand name products confident that its marketing regimen would out strip the local markets supplanting them with a strong multi national corporation and thus assure it's position as a climax species... except here in Canada! darn I've taken to wrapping fishing floats in news paper and tying them up pine trees but the idea hasn't taken off yet.

 

Sickles

The main difference between these tools is the size of plant being cut

the smallest is for garden herbs or grapes.

Materials : stainless steal blade,handle plains buffalo horn.

Next to right - a small traveling sickle for clover, yarrow, fiddle heads & any garden herbs

Materials : stainless steal blade,handle-African black wood ,copper pins.

Golden sickle : inspired by druid Getafix of the Asterix & Obelix comic book (if you've missed out on this series consider your childhood deprived). Getafix -cuts mistletoe with a pure golden sickle for a magic potion that imparts super human strength; providing the only means to resist being conquered by the mighty Roman Empire and fueling many exciting adventures...as I don't have 8--10,000$ worth of gold, I made it out of brass, which cuts better any way ! Reduces un-necessary weight and I haven't noticed any more or less magic happening...

If you people would buy more knives I could afford gold!!

Materials : brass-blade ,handle-black walnut.

The" Coconut King " is intended for climbing up 20-70 ft. of limbless trunk, -cutting -2" stalks and bringing down 50-100 lbs.of nuts that is 12-24 coconuts!

Materials : stainless steal blade&pins,handle-water buffalo horn , leather sheath- with water buffalo horn blade protector, it's designed so if and when you fall maybe a long ways you won't add impaled something or other to add to your list of complaints.

The Coconut King is fondly named after Jzocktar The hugest Black guy I ever knew! He could climb 4x 60ft. coconut trees in a row! My humble attempts on my biggest day ever totaled 2x 20ft.ers 1x 30ft. and 1x 60ft with a significant break in between each one, about 100 nuts in total...

Use

The idea for this tool came in one of my dreams; I reached around my neck and felt something unfamiliar, sliding off the whale bone sheath I discovered a mini sickle so of course I had to make one. the sheath is un finished.
