Here is an old split bed Hardinge I recently cleaned up.

That is one beautiful knife sir!

Finished a forged and flat ground blade with 1084 and stag stainless fittings. Thanks for looking,

Thanks for the comments guys.

I like it! Now I have to ask, how did you do that?

Piece of 5/8" drill rod forged to a point, then forged flat, forged out tang. Threaded end of tang and screwed all together.

Forged W1, stainless spacer and butt cap, tung oil finished walnut. 8" overall length. Thanks for looking, Buddy

Very nice knife. Aluminum looks good to me.

This is one of my favorite knives that I make. It is about 6 3/4" overall length, 1/8" thick 52100 with acid finish. Ironwood scales that can be removed for cleaning. Thanks for looking, Buddy

Thanks for the comments guys!!

That is really a beautiful piece.

Simple and subtle.

Very nice.

Thank you sir!

Hunter I recently finished with stag, 1095 blade and stainless bolsters. Thanks for looking. Buddy

Absolutely beautiful!

OOOHHH that's tight.

How did you seal,attach the guard?
And what grit for the satin finish?

Great work as usual.

Thanks
Mark

Mark, the guard is soldered on. Finished to 600 grit, thanks for the compliment. Buddy

8 1/2" blade forged of 5160, 416 stainless fittings, whitetail handle, Thanks for looking.

Beautiful!!

very nice. I like the diff. hardening line, did you clay it?

stainless for fittings - i like it. I wish I had thought of doing it.

Yes I use Satanite down the middle.

why did you harden the spine too? normally a differential H/T is cutting edge only.

I have an old Bowie knife I made a long time ago. I use it to cut off pieces of hart pine for kindling. The spine is soft on that knife and after years of beating on the spine with a hammer it has mushroomed out quite a bit. I know this knife will probably not be beat on, but who knows what it will be used for. I have not broken any test blades hardened this way, but plan to soon. Any of you guys broken a blade heattreated this way?

Finished a hunter with a flat ground blade, stag, and stainless fittings. Thanks for looking

I think they have a meeting in April, might pick up some info there.

Very nice knife, walnut is one of my favorites.

Thanks Guys, The minis are difficult for me to make, but I enjoy them.

I like the blade shape, I agree it should be a very good chopper. Looking foward to seeing it finished.

Just finished this little dagger, damascus and ivory, thanks for looking!
