August 22, 201213 yr hello all here's a knife which the client wanted to be inspired by the kukhri. the blade is forged from O2 tool steel, it has a forged hollow iron bolster and a boxwood handle.
August 22, 201213 yr That looks great. Nice job on that bolster. Any tricks that you have for getting that made up.
August 23, 201213 yr Author That is some gorgeous work that looks like it would cut somethin' fierce! cuts something like in this little video, effortlessly:
August 23, 201213 yr Author That looks great. Nice job on that bolster. Any tricks that you have for getting that made up. the bolster is made of iron pipe, worked on the end by closing it, then some more forming, i think you can imagine. the hardest think, though, is fitting it on the handle (due to it's sinuous line) and to the blade, then all of them together - it took me two days :)
August 23, 201213 yr Nicest I have seen i a while, love that shape and the handle fit is perfect - is that bone.
August 23, 201213 yr Really nice. I don't always like the forge finished look but you did it very well, especially with the bolster.
August 25, 201213 yr That's a great looking blade. I want one! and you've done a fantastic job on the bolster and handle fit. Well Done!
