nc_cooter Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 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.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc_cooter Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golgotha forge & anvil Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Nifty..and they look mighty handy! I'm sure the 2 young men will be extremely happy... Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Flintlock Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
