Stainless or copper tubing for hollow rivets. Need a flare tool.

Wow all very nice. Did you make the sheath as well ? Also ++ on the dog paws and 3 layer.

Wow that is super nice. Well done

I suggest a web search for a local blacksmith guild or group. Mine has all the tools I need to learn the basics with very little $ invested. In person/ hands on learning is best.

I like them!

Ken I hope you’ll stay on here. Some of the posters could maybe possibly benefit from keeping it a tiny bit more positive. And yes I am awaiting my beating now.

Bigfoot can you maybe sketch what you're describing? Thx

Common problem i think

I like it a lot. I am wondering is the handle might work loose with only one pin. Keep up the good work!!

Hi stormcrow. Very nice work. What would something like that go for? Have you tested these abusively? Do they ever bend right behind the blade?

Very nice work

I really like that blade shape. Well done.

Seems like this forum needs a section on sharpening. I didn't find it if it already exists. anyway, every knife, sword, axe, and spear maker and anyone using tools needs to be able to sharpen their edges. i recently saw a video on the razor sharp system. , i bought mine from the local woodcraft store. Used it several times and I'm very impressed. Easy and quick and sharper than I ever got before using stones, diamond doodads and belt sander with strop.

Old world anvils has a hydro press that looks a lot like uncle al's,. Not identical but very close

That is beautiful.
