Brian Shafer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 This is knife number 5. I can get a hold of more cable than I could ever use in a life time. I welded ( or tried to) a piece about 3 foot long that was about 1 1/8 in diameter. For not really knowing what I was doing the cable turned out pretty good. In the photos I was doing a number of things. Trying out a very improvised light box, trying out a brand new digital camera, and taking a pict of the first knife i thought was good enough to post here. As you can see the bevel is all crooked so I reground the edge. It looks better now but I haven't taken any more pictures. This is my EDC. Hope you like it. For what it is worth, here is a thread on the piece of welded cable. http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?sh...ic=9060&hl= Brian No Thor, no hammer. Know Thor, know hammer!

JimC Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Brian, What kind of cable is that and would you be willing to sell some of it? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Sisters Forge Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Great work, tight, even. The carbon/grain is consistent showing even heating, tough to do. Your twisting jig is way cool. If you need any cable give me s shout, got about 300 ft. of it.

Brian Madigan Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 That is real nice. Thats a real tight pattern. I want some cable pretty bad. I twisted up a bunch of 1086 1/4 rods into a cable-like billet, but its not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
