Hi guys forged from a piece of coil spring. The blade is 7" the whole thing is 11". First time trying an integral. Wanted an old looking belt knife and this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think.

Can't seem to get the pics to upload

Make them alittle smaller. I make my pics 400 pixels on the long side that seems to work just fine.

Thanks

I like it! Nice lines. What type of wood did you use for the handle?


Mitch

Nice job, especially being your first.

Saw that one on PaleoPlanet.

Very nice work.

Now that's a LONG knife! It looks beautiful!

Thanks all for the nice comments.

really nice man whas the maple dyed and stabilized? Whats the blade length?

Thanks Metal99, no the maple wasn't stabilized professionally. It was sealed with linseed oil and half a dozen coats of paste wax. Prior to that I used vinegar to color the grain.

I read about using acid on maple before, I might have to try that out sometime :) I cant wait to have my forge and everything all setup this summer.
