Ecart Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Okay, I really stink at posting pics on a forum, but here goes. This is a knife I forged from a log chain pin. It is for a soldier that is in Iraq at the moment. He in into primitive camping and wanted a rugged knife to carry out into the woods with him. I hope he likes it. Oh, and i hope you do too. First some stats: OAL: A hair over 11" Blade length: 5 3/4" Blade thickness: 1/4" at thickest point Blade width: 1 1/4" I only finished it to 220 grit. It hardened nicely in a veg oil quench. Now a pic or two: The spine That bulge doesn't show as much in person as it did in that pic. Hmm. The knuckle guard Comments are certainly welcome.

Marksnagel Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nice looking knife. I'm sure he'll love it. Where in east central NC? I'm in Durants Neck, between Elizabeth City and Hertford in Perquimans county. The pics are fine. Mark <º)))>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm near Louisburg, up in Franklin County. I've been near or through the towns you've mentioned. The new owner has seen the pics and completely loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
