Lamey Knives Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 HI Mark, thanks for the kind words... flawless though its not ;-) The name is etched then blued, then lightly sanded over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longhunter Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thats real nice!! did you use clay on the blade during your heat treatment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalMuncher Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Dude! Awsome stuff! How much is one of those going for? And how did you fit the handles? To my knowledge, you dont burn stag handles...how do you work it? Thanks man, and keep forging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamey Knives Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 hi all, HW- still using the Champion #1 at this point, hopefully that will change soon. Clay was used to differentially heat treat, and the stag is very easy to work. Just drill/scrape the pith out, and fit the hole to the tang etc.... As far as fitting it to the guard, was done with a 5/8" round wheel on the grinder and blended in by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
