This knife was a pretty fun experience, being it was my first jawbone handle and the 15 degree weather.

Your anvil is a SISCO Superior made in sweden.. At the time the steel it was cast from was the worlds best. If you go on google docs there's a tarrif document between a lawyer and a couple ohio and new york anvil makers, they all quote that SISCO Superior was better quality than theirs.

The bone up untill the teeth is extremely thin, I thought about doing the natural guard but I don't see fitting that large of a knife and tang into 1/16th thick bone. I really think it has to be cut off for this large of a blade.

Hi all, I'm about to start fitting together a knife with a 40 year old coyote jaw as a handle with a nickel silver guard. The teeth are glued in. What i had in mind was cutting off the thin wide part up to the back molars. Making the blade tang shorter and overall smaller to fit into the jaw... Is the jaw hollow inside? Does anyone with experience with this type of handle have any suggestions? I definitely don't want to mess this one up :P Here are pictures of what i'm working with.

Just forged a kitchen knife with a 10 inch blade. I was looking at pictures of kitchen knives and I either don't see a grind line or I see a small rounded grind line near the handle. I'm just wondering how these knives were ground so they are not left with a noticeable plunge. copyrighted photos removed.

I recently bought this anvil; the brand is Sisco Superior from sweden, made around 1900. After some research I found that this anvil was an upper level quality anvil made out of swedish steel which was at the time the most advanced. The anvil was bought new from a zinc smelting factory in IL. After the factory closed down the anvil was taken by one of the workers who sold it to the man I bought it from. I completely restored the anvil; there was trace amounts of an earthy green paint on the anvil, so I painted it green. I filled in minor dents on the edges and face, and ground the face flat. This 280 pound beauty is my favorite piece in my shop. -
