  1. Nice job on that one! I like it!
  2. Never look a gift horse in the mouth......did I quote that correctly? There may be better places to gather and exchange info and knowledge.....I haven't found one better than IFI. The plethora of knowledge and resources are endless.....my work and improvement are true testament of what can be achieved......your call my friend. Cheers Darren
  3. Nice looking work right there keep them coming!
  4. If you combine 1045 and 1080 in equal parts and forge weld this will yield approx. 1060 overall and give toughness and some decent edge retention. I am assuming of course you can forge weld.
  5. Rhett you may have picked the brains of other makers, but it was your hands that made the knife! Keep them coming!
  6. Nice work all around
  7. Once again 1084,1095 and 15N20. Ebony handle with wood micarta and stainless spacers and a stainless guard. Mosaic pin for kicks!
  8. I have been using an A16 belt(1200grit) then hand sanding with 1200 paper wet with oil. Then buffing wheel and hand polish with Mothers Mag polish. I can get pretty near mirror with this method. I hope this helps a bit! Cheers, Darren
  9. Thanks a lot guys ...my first crack at a pattern welded hatchet. I was pretty happy how it came off!
  10. Mr Charlton you certainly flatter me! Thanks!
  11. I can't remember breakfast.....21 I think, then twisted. If you would have asked me 3 months ago I could probably answer with some certainty...Thanks for looking and the compliments.

    rebar?

    Most certainly not the proper material for a blade. I wouldn't strike anything with a sword made from rebar. Rebar has a purpose.....and it's not blades. Use caution.
  13. Love the work on #2 the copper is cool!
