So my brother been bothering me for a knife since I started making them(going on 8 or 9 years now...) so Ive finally made him one! W1 and mild steel san mai blade, bronze guard and pin and bocote handle. First "modern knife for me with a ricasso and plunge grinds which proved to be a challenge, thanks for looking!
Looks good Mike, you are going to have to make it to the hammer in this year. I have about 500 roller bearing that need forging. I have made some kitchen knives our of them, they work great and are and scary sharp.
Thanks guys! Forge when is the hammer in this year? It was fun last time and have wanted to go again but life kept getting involved... BTW i still wear shorts while I forge haha and could come with a car full of swords!
Cool knife. When you say first "modern", I assume you make medieval or primitive blades? I'd love to see some pics. Do you have them here or do you have a site?
Hi ToddR, lately Ive been making puukkos and some kitchen knifes but still have yet to make a full tang anything... main focus has always been on historically "inspired" swords and there earlier construction using patternwelding!
