I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

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.

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!
