John Martin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 That is one magnificent piece of work. It would be a shame to actually use it! lol. Like the handle shape as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 The blade was 1 1/2" longer before I tried to straighten it a little to much immediatly after quench! It was going to be a 'cutting competition' knife (10" blade x 5" handle x 2" deep) Im going to do another one similar (but try not to snap it in heat treat this time!) but I will go for 3/8" thick at the spine, instead of the 1/4" this one is!!) - the 2 x 4 timbers wont stand a chance :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 thanks for the nice words everyone! The 10" version of this one is on hold for a bit, I just discovered the joy of anglo saxon esk historical pieces! Im working on a nice (ish) seax now, and since ive started researching Ive realised what the ancestors were capable of doing patternwelding wise (makes most of us look like a bunch of incompetents ! ) Think Im gonna enjoy this challenge !
