Hloh 9 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hey! This one I forged from old horseshoe (founded under floor in my mother in law house). On scales I use box wood. And one photo from work progress, all parts before completing: Link to post Share on other sites
C Craft 177 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Old tradition in our country to hang a horseshoe over the door for good luck, never heard of putting one under the floor for good luck but sounds like it is plausible! Looks like you found some good luck with that one, cause that is one fine knife you have made out of the horseshoe! I really like the design and the carving on the wood handle is great!!!

Richard van Dijk 202 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Neat one Hloh, I am sure that there is much more interesting things to find under those buildings. (Having been there) Cheers Richard Link to post Share on other sites
Jim P 0 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I like it, very nice on the handle. Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Humber 8 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Fantastic little folder... could the shoe possibly have been something like wrought iron or shear steel? The amount of character in that monosteel blade is fabulous. Carvings are lovely too... I've been planning on building a friction folder as well... did you use a stop pin to keep the blade from rotating more than 180 degrees? Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 2,717 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Perfectly Hloh! Did you carburise the iron at all? It has great character, just like its maker. Link to post Share on other sites

Hloh 9 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thank you all! I try to reply all questions in one answer so: I found there more than one because that room was former stable It has some carbon but mot much (works similar like steels with 0,5-0,6 % carbon) so on small knives I think is usable. There are stop pin behind main rivet- you can see it at that photo of knife parts- if you want I could make some datail photos on further friction folder. On this knife works in both positions open and closed. Sometime closed position hold that wood (in some cases leather) piece. If somebody is interested to wear this one in pocket please visit my Facebook pages (Knives by Hloh) to learn more. Link to post Share on other sites
