December 31, 201015 yr I had some scrap pieces of 1084fg and rather than throwing them away I decided to try and forge some small blades. Used white tail antler tines for handles. They will be gifts for two young hunters to go on their hunting bags. Thanks for looking. Mike
December 31, 201015 yr I find small blades very useful, and the only time I reach for a larger one is when I am cooking. Those look like they could come in very handy.
January 1, 201115 yr I also prefer smaller knives when hunting or whatever. Nice job. I'm sure that those young hunters will keep them for a lifetime and be mighty proud of them. :D
January 1, 201115 yr Author Thanks everyone. I am going to make more of these small knives. They are a bit tricky to forge. Eric,they have stick tangs about 2" long. I use E-120HP epoxy. They won't come out. Mike
January 1, 201115 yr Nifty..and they look mighty handy! I'm sure the 2 young men will be extremely happy... Gene
January 1, 201115 yr Looks good! Maybe next time you could try a wider tang and drill it for a copper rivet? I like the looks of the copper rivets, but still with epoxy to keep it secure.
