Thanks guys. I hope to try it out this fall. It seems like it's going to be a good
knife. It holds an edge very well. Thank you for the comments -
Thanks. I saw a picture in Dixie gun works catalog and modeled it after it.
Really liked the design. I think they called it a "Roach belly" -

Yes I edge quenched and then heat treated them in the oven. Have read of so many different ways to treat that I did each a little different but it seems that 3 times for an hour @<400>degrees brought the blades to a yellowish brown (I assume thats straw color?) then cleaned them up and and sharpened. They seem to hold an edge pretty well and I even used the top one to dress out a deer this past season and it was still fairly sharp when I finished. Don't know if 3 treatments is overkill or not but I read about it and gave it a try and it seemed to work pretty good. Thanks for the comments

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the forum. These are my first three knives. The materials include an old file, a piece of a hayrake tooth,and a bushhog blade. The two bone handles are from a deer I took last year with buffalo horn caps. The wooden handle is ironwood. The blades range from 4" to about 5"

I just found this site through anvilfire and joined up. I'm just getting started
in blacksmithing though I've been interested for as long as I can remember.
There's not any classes close enough for me to take, so there is a lot of trial and error but it sure is fun learning. Have finished a few projects that I found
both here and on anvilfire and they actually turned out fairly well (to my
surprise:)) and am looking forward to learning all that I can. Just grateful that there are sites like this to help out and find valueable info on.
Thanks , J Rose
