  1. Thanks for the comments. I will try to post some pics of a new knife I am working on. It is a smaller hunter style. I am also going to work on the guard and try to refine it a little better. Thanks, Bret P.S. I am a veterinarian(dogs and cats primarily). I got started making longbows and recurves, laminated, about 15 years ago. I think that the patience I developed refining these will help with the knife making process.
  2. I have been lurking for awhile now and have thrown my hand into forging knives. I bought a gas forge, made a bucket anvil, and collected assorted tools off ebay(tongs, hammers, etc.). This is my first. 5160 leaf spring. Hammer forged to shape and then finish ground. I bought a grizzly knife grinder. I bought a book by Jim Hirisoulas, and a video by tim lively to help guide me. I tempered the knife in the oven and differentially treated the tang and spine with a torch. The guard and pommel were made by me out of 5160. The handle is wenge and black micarta. I also did some filework on the spine. Let me know what you think. Bret
