Gyuri Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Carved bruyere handle and sheath. Forged Elmax. Come on... I rarely meet this level of craftsmanship. What technique did you use on the copper? My blog: http://cerberuscutlery.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I really love this knife. It has the subtle form and curves that I have been attracted to lately. The handle and the bolster are marvelous. great job! thanks for sharing. please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.

B. Norris Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That is a very, very, nice! What is forging Elmax like, out of curiosity? The briar looks like a nice choice for handle material. ~Bruce~ “All work is empty save when there is love, for work is love made visible.” Kahlil Gibran "It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them." - Alfred Adler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Spurgeon Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Very nice work! I second Bruce's curiosity on forging with Elmax. I am just starting a project that will use Elmax in the final version, but given the price I paid for the Elmax, the prototype I am currently making is 15N20. I had been planning to just grind the blades, but I would rather forge them if I can. I would love to hear how the Elmax behaved during forging and heat treat?
