TheoRockNazz Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Still putting the final touches, but she's 99% there. Another 50+ year old file, forged to shape, deferentially heat treated with APG-36 and Parks 50 quench, and a 3D printed high-density polymer handle that was designed to fit the tang like a glove. I was tempted to water quench but wasn't willing to risk it since I was already leaving the teeth on. Also included a pic of an acrylic knife display I made myself at my new job, designing for and operating lasercutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 After I forged the blades I measured the tang's dimensions, then 3D printed the hand/slab as one unit that slid over the tang - I designed it so the holes were already drilled, just needed to drill the tang, epoxy, and throw in the pins.

TheoRockNazz Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thank you! I am a big fan of Celtic knots, and have been trying to work it into my blades where it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
