August 2, 200916 yr Hello to all. I just joined the forum last night really like what I see and hear. I started blacksmithing about 6 months ago. Do it in my spare time. Here is a photo of my first knife project. A 19 in bowie knife made from a 65 mustang leaf spring. The handle is made from an old hedge fence post. The guard and end cap are made from scrap bronze bearings. what do you think
August 2, 200916 yr well first off welcome to the forums. and second that is very nice especially for your first knife. i love giant choppers like that
August 2, 200916 yr Wow! First knife project. My first (what?) twenty first knives never made it to finished form. Nice job and welcome to the boards. That's a nice one laying beside the anvil in the pic too. Let us see it when you're done. Also, I love Mustangs. I think that would be an appropriate name for that beast.
August 2, 200916 yr Author the one next to it on the stump is a knife I am making for a friend. I am making to match a tattoo that both he and his son have on their forarms. He helped me get going buy giving me a 167 lb peter wright anvil. He is a great friend I have already made him a tomahawk pics are on the tomahawk and spear forum
August 2, 200916 yr awesome first knife. I did dozens of primitive (one-piece) knives before ever trying one like you just made! I bet it will hold a great edge too, considering the steel source
