I Forge Iron

First finished knife


trying-it

Recommended Posts

My first ever forged and finished knife with a home made sheath. It is a b'day present for my neighbor who turns 80 yrs old weekend.

I got distracted 1 minute and next thing I know I find myself on the Darkside! 1 minute, guess that is 1 of those "senior moments" I keep hearing about!!!

(Still think Garey Ford must have pushed me when I was not looking)

The cubes actually feel good in the hand and add a bit more gripping texture to hold. The cubes are sized 1/4" apart.


When I laid the pattern out I used a wrap of 1" masking tape under the head and another 4" further down.


The space inbetween was then used as guide marks to start and stop the 4 center cuts (kept all 4 cuts the same length) and 4" is about the width of my closed fist/hand.


Thanks for all the kind reviews! I enjoyed making this sharp pointy thingie and might just have to do some more soon!
