Mini Cleaver

Made this a few days ago. 1084 steel. Copper bolster and lanyard tube. 3/16 Stainless pins. Purple Heart handle material I had laying around.Little bit of file work. Handle is super comfortable. A lot of flaws in this knife but I learned a lot. First bolster. Beat it up a little bit testing it out.

 

oops posting in wrong thread. my bad

 

Nice! I like the copper. You're doing it right. Using good steel and making a cool, unique design. Can't see any pins in the bolster. Did you use copper pins?

 

Thanks Dan. Ya I used copper Corby and peened them.

 

I like the copper... Making me Jones for the shop. Just so much happening these last couple weeks there is no play time... : (

 

Awesome work

 

Thanks guys. Can't wait to see something bobby. I've been in the shop non stop since the grinder was built. Think i'm in love lol

 

Tried my luck at a kydex sheath. Turned out ok. Learned a few things. Was fun.
