May 12, 201214 yr My first knife I made 25 years ago, a dagger type blade. The second knife I made 20 years ago, bowie, long blade for 15 ". He served me many years.For the past six years, I don't have knife, so I decided to do some myself.Pictures of the process of creating.Made of steel type 1075. How do I do next, I will do more pictures.
May 12, 201214 yr I like the blade, but I have a question. How are you planning to attach the handle? It seems like your tang is a bit high for a through tang, and not really wide enough for a full tang.. Ben House
May 13, 201214 yr Looks like you did a good job of keeping the blade for curving. Did you intend that tang to be so high or was is a ***insert Homer Simpson "DOH"***moment. I've had quite a few of those. Post some finished pics.
May 14, 201214 yr The rough forging looked great and so does the profiled blade. Wouldn't take much to grind a pinch of the top of that Tang to fit a guard. Keep us posted, can't wait to see it done. Nice job!
May 16, 201214 yr Author I do not have much time for the knife, but I have these pictures of the next work. I worked little on a tang.
May 22, 201214 yr I wish I could get that close with a hammer!!! That's coming real nice. Can't wait to see it done!
