BSchermann Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I'm new to the forum so I figured I'd post some of my recent work, well not all that recent, I've been on a little hiatus while the kids are out of school. Anyway here are some examples: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbillysmith Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 BSchermann, you have some very nice work. I especially love the second one down. It would be a great knife to go on hunting trips with. What do you call that type of knife, or is it just a design that you thought of? What did you make it out of? (If you don't mind me asking). I really want to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSchermann Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 That one was inspired by a knife forged out at a Hammer-in that I had at my house last year, don't really have a name for it. Here are the specs on it: The blade is about 6 7/8" from tip to back of Ricasso and is 1 7/16" at it's widest. Overall length is just over 11". The blade material is 1050 (ish?) that I forged down from round stock clay coated to get it to show a Hamon . I originally planned to put some wood scales on the handle but decided to try the hemp cord and really liked how it felt. Thanks for your time, Brent:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me miller Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I see the first blade is damascus. What mix are you using . It looks very nice and has a different flow to it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike That one is some of my own damascus, it is a mix of 1084 and 15N20 it has a lower layer count which gives it that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sweet stuff, I think a good name for that second one down would be a boukri, a bowie mixed with a kukhri, as it has that koukhri curve with a closer to bowie shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
