MDF Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi guys, sorry for my latitance but this is not good time... I want show my latest knives: the first is a simple forged blade, iron fittings and oliveburl handle. The second one is a variation of my replica of the roman folder "dog hunting hare", maybe some of you remenber a my old tutorial to make a similar folder. Well, this time no wrought iron for blade but monosteel with double quench line. In my opinion this second bronze handle have better proportions of the first that I've made 2-3 years ago...but the criticism you have to do.

Karter Schuster Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Very nice, may I ask from what era the top knife is representing? It looks like a seax, but also like a plain medieval commoners knife. Anyways I love both knives. Lovely job on the bronze handle.

GEzell Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Good to see you back! That big one could pass for a seax... very nice. The folder is a classic, excellent work sir.

MDF Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thank you so much guys! And yes, for the top one I'm inspired by some late blades, no medieval Karter. CIAO FROM ITALY Marco Di Francesco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
