First knife completed Pic Heavy

[DBain 15]

My first knife shaped object, typical railroad spike knife with a full twist.

Here is my first real knife, loosely based on a "mini bush Seax". Started as a section of sugar cane harvester chopper blade, 1095 steel.

Here it is sitting atop a new chopper blade.

Getting hot

Finished product with Krinite Patriot scales, nickle silver pins and GFlex epoxy.

I have 7-8 hours of labor and approximately $25 of materials in it.

Nice! That's some clean forging. And clean finish work! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, thinking about doing a clip point skinner with possibly a rust browned finish.

 

Also a letter opener style knife with Krinite Pearl scales.
