matei campan Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 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.

matei campan Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nicest I have seen i a while, love that shape and the handle fit is perfect - is that bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Carnecchia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Really nice. I don't always like the forge finished look but you did it very well, especially with the bolster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
