Knife Blank Hidden Tang Novels & Stories

“I didn’t break a rib. I’m fine.” Chantal poked and felt around, and Gage swore soundly. “Hold still.” “You’re a sadist.” His jaw ticked as she felt along each rib. Happy with her examination, she rose and checked on their clothes. Her eyes fell on Gage’s sheathed knife, and Chantal reached out. “Careful! That blade is sharp. That’s a Ka-Bar.” “Isn’t that what SF soldiers use?” “Yes—It’s a U.S. Marine Corps Fighting Knife. Mine’s not a standard issue.”

Blight, Ryker’s Gamma, steps forward with a grin on his face. He’s dressed in all black like me, with blackout tattoos covering his neck and arms. Short cropped blonde hair, grey eyes, tall but muscular; I’ve heard tales about this Gamma that rival my own. He has a penchant for killing humans in the most gruesome ways, and his favorite weapon is a JagdKommando knife; the deadliest of blades as it has three edges that spiral together like a corkscrew into a sharp tip. No doctor can sew up a wound left by this knife.

She said as she reached into her boot to reveal a silver dagger covered with runes down the blade. I could translate the runes with a better view of the blade. I didn’t need to, though. I knew that blade very well. I was on the wrong side of one years ago when the Adio guild was still under shithead management. I wasn’t surprised Hana would have one. All hunters are issued that blade. We, of course, weren’t given such toys. Justifiably, since they are designed so, our kind cannot even touch the handle. “How do we know that’s the only place you have a weapon hidden?” Albert smiled.

Today, I choose something else. I open the secure locker and take out a Heckler & Koch MP7. It’s compact, rapid-fire, and designed to punch through body armor. I load a magazine and check the action. I grab a combat knife as well. Six inches of matte black serrated steel, and sheath it on my belt. I catch my reflection in the glass of the gun cabinet. I look like a killer. I don't look like a husband. And that’s fine. Because right now, Eve doesn't need a husband. She needs a beast to stand at the gate and bare his teeth.

He wanted to go after her but he thought it best to let her ease into the discovery. Grey finally had the sword in his hands, he ripped the paper wrap off completely revealing smooth, thin, Blackstone blade with a clean cut single edge sharp enough to tear through air. The opposite side of the blade blunt but jagged sure to pull out flesh with a stab. It was horrid and elegant, a faint glow as It reacted to his touch when he wrapped his hands around the handle. "Nice sword, you cosplay?" Ten asked walking into the sitting area. Clad in a black armless hoodie revealing slender muscular arms over black leggings and comfy looking sneakers.

Fiona took the pen in her hand and looked at it, confused, "Can you give it to me?" "YES." Paul Henry nodded. When in Paul Henry's hand, Fiona thought it was just a red fountain pen, but when she held it in her hand, she realized it seemed different from other normal pens. Fiona I don't know, flipping the cap of the pen with my hand, letting out a small voice, this is not a pen at all, but a small knife, where the pen nib is replaced with a blade, looks very sharp. "This is for self-defense, the nib is made of tungsten steel, can break glass, can also be used as a pen nib to write, normally you just keep it in your pocket, it won't take up much space." Paul Henry explained.

A small satisfaction rises in my chest. “Lucky shot,” a student said from the bleaches. I ignore it. My eyes shift to the next set……throwing stars. Those too find their marks. I move through a few more small weapons doing the same with them before something on the far end catches my eye. Two long knives, twin blades with cross-shaped handles. The craftsmanship is unreal and the metal gleams faintly, almost pale as bone. I pull them free from the rack. The grip fits perfectly in my palm, light and balanced. They almost hum against my skin. My chest tightens, it is as if the weapon is calling to me.

Subtle, but I notice everything. Klaus de Luca. He didn’t see me as he entered a room alone. I didn’t hesitate. Silently, smoothly, I followed. The door was just starting to close when— CRASH! A vase flew at my head. I ducked instinctively, the ceramic shattering against the wall behind me. I straightened slowly, blade already drawn. Then I heard his voice. Low. Calculated. “So... you’re the Ghost Knife. The woman with no past. No future. Who sent you ? .”

“I brought something for you to see.” Ronan’s head lifts a fraction. Mara arrives like a shadow, eyes already warily resting on Ronan. Kieran nods to his attendants. They set down a long, narrow chest and step back. He opens it himself. Inside rests a brace of throwing knives with pale handles, each inlaid with a smoky thread of metal like a lightning bolt frozen mid-flight. “Silversteel,” he says softly. “Flexible, balanced, takes an edge like a promise. I had these set aside when I heard you were studying knife throwing.”

He was thinking about his shift ending, while I was thinking about his life ending. ​I didn't use the Glock. Even with a suppressor, the "pop" would be a gamble I wasn't ready to take while I was still on the outer ring of the estate. Instead, I drew the serrated combat knife from the leather sheath strapped to my boot—the one Malakai had pressed into my hand, telling me it was my last line of defense. I moved like a flicker of black smoke, closing the sixty-foot distance in three long, silent strides that didn't even disturb the gravel beneath my soles.
