WOW! On both knife and sheath.
-
Thanks all!

This is my first finished knife. Had to scrap more than one blade before getting to this point. Sort of learned, how to move metal with a hammer and how to bezel it out. Now, I need to learn how to avoid so many hammer marks. 1095 drill rod and the guard from a scrapped blade of 1095. Walnut handle, with a short lag bolt in the butt. Please critique, and suggestions are rather welcomed.

I've got the handle (scales) part down. Now I need the time to get the metal smithing worked out.
-
Well, getting paid for your hobby is pretty great!
-
As a very amateur silversmith/metal/lapidary artist, I see see some jewelry applications. This would also make for some great handle material, grond and polished!

WOW! Just awesome.
-
Very Nice!

Nice!

Thanks!

Tom, I know what you mean. Well the anvil passed the ball bearing test with flying colors. Not to beat up. So I took the leap of faith and bought it. It has the Fisher marking on one end, the end has a faint 1881 (year date, maybe), a supposed angel on the side.

Wish I had a picture to post, but yours says alot!

Is a #70 Fisher anvil, circa 1880's a good anvil? And if it is, what would be a reasonable price? All the info, I amm getting from this from is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave PS Looking at the pix, under the horn and across the bottom it says FISHER, with a number 7 right above it.

Thank you Rusty.

Have been lurking and reading posts, I think I know what spark testing is, but could someone elaborate for me. All I have heard is that the smaller the spark the more carbon. Is this true? And what exactly does this tell you? Thanks, Dave

LOL Toms. Have met Tom Krien, and been in his shop, nice work. Guess that leaves Tom Upton.

I wonder if, that is the Tom, I heard about, that lives in Rogers. I work out of Springdale, and all over the area, for Beaver Lake Concrete. Have also heard about a blacksmithing club from Fayetteville. They were set up at the Tired Iron show near Gentry, but I was chairman of our clubs' fall rock swap, and couldn't get over to it.

Thanks MRNEWBERRY, where are you from? Thanks to both Thomas's. We are going to wandering around East TX during Thanksgiving week, looking for rocks, and just wandering. This a Buck 110 I replaced the scales on. Wanting to move up to doing it all.

Literally a newbie to red hot steel. I have a small gas forge, various pieces of steel, but need to get an anvil. Have beat on some railroad spikes and other scrap. Am mostly interested in making my own knives, and then using semi precious stone for the scales. Am mostly interested in lapidary, but blacksmithing is a definitely teasing subject. Dave
