winterbear Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 OK so that title seems odd so let me give a bit of background on my knife making/assembling. I assembled my first knife when I was 12 or 13, patch knife to use with a muzzleloading gun wich we were just getting involved with. Since then I have assembled maybe 100-150 knives to sell trade or give away. I have done a few pieces stock removal but didn't have the proper equiptment/time or money for proper heat treating so they are so so. So the following knife is the culmination of all of my recent experimentation, I think this is the third try with out cracking during hardening/tempering. Truck coil spring blade 9.5 inches or so some coal some propane forging, maple burl handle with poured pewter bolster. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
