leighwill Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is the first real knife i have made, it took a day to forge and a day at home to do the handle, Not perfect but i like it. It is made from EN9 medium carbon steel here is the breakdown of elements C. 0.50% Si.0.25% Mn.0.70% S.0.05% P.0.05%.. All the forging was done at Hector Coles place at swindon, this man is awesome he specialises in medieval blades and arrowheads. if admin dont mind heres a link to his website for any who are interested.hector cole ironwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighwill Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 cheers guys, ive made some knives before but only out of mild steel just practising really, but i have now ordered some en9 and also found a supplier for antler in scotland at good prices. But thanks again for the comments and also any criticisms would be welcome, can only help me improve my work. Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
