Yeah, since my kukri was kind of a failure i decided to create the tribalmans shiv, which is made out of wood.

Doesn't it have a curve to it?
Looks good though.

That's brilliant.

Thank you, just need to make the handle now
Now that weapon is gonna break any time in case you drop it enough times or use it for fun/serious bsns. The wood is no good quality and you should've let the blade follow the veins of the wood.
Looks great, I hope you use it to make many bleed.
nice
As someone pointed out, you should have gone with the grain. When you go against the grain it is extremely easy to break in half.

It's plywood, so grain direction isn't really an issue
I made the grain facing that way because the other parts of the wood had alot of knots in it, so that was my only choice
