Progress with spikes


Jack-O-Lantern

Recommended Posts

After fiddling with spikes for a little while now, I'm finally satisfied. As you all can tell I'm no knifesmith by a long shot, but my hammer finally keeps up with my imagination. So for now I'm satisfied. I'm gonna drift off into more deco type stuff now and see how well I handle it. When I return to blades I'll try big boy stuff like damascus, mokune gane, etching, and proper tempering. At least I hope so.

For that last picture:  heat the handle end up, punch the eye in with a center punch and then after cool and cleaned up drop a nice glass bead in the holes with a bit of epoxy---I like the "glowing red ones" though the yellow ones with a vertical dark line are nice as well)
