I've yet to make a knife, but I spent all day today on this spike knife and it's ready for heat treat so I think I'll have a completed knife soon. It's a little different, I never liked that spike head so I pounded it out and just let it go. Learned alot on this. Tell me what you think.

Thanks Chuck I was up at Siskiyou summit last week and there's a pile of plates and spikes with tie clips also, I picked up some spikes but will have to go back to get some clips, didn't know about them. I think they have quit rail service over the summit.

Mike I'm happy to be able to share. Been collecting for over 30 yrs., a lot of stuff is pretty ordinary tho. You're welcome here anytime. (long drive) John B Thanks that makes sense, that one has been a puzzle to me. I think I have another Slater's hammer my wife got it at a sale with a matching nail puller, I'll have to go find it and see what the hammer looks like.

Thomas My punch isn't too old because it has " wear your safety goggles" stamped on the under side.

Thomas irnsrgn described it as a "backing out punch" but I don't know what that refers to or its specific use. The cobblers hammer is hand forged, t's quite a big upset on the round end, fasinated me because I'm tring to do some upsetting and isn't as easy as I thought. Mark
