jay_cat Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I found this link to a photo bucket page with hundreds of knife patterns. I suck at drawing so the use of a pattern is essential. I found a couple i liked, and printed them out. You can adjust the size of the image to print the size you want. I thought this might be helpful to other beginners like myself. I didn't want to ruin the new piece of steel I bought. http://media.photobucket.com/image/knife%20patterns/cantador4u/Knife%20Blade%20Patterns%20and%20Designs/BladesoutlinedsidekickbyBGoode.gif?o=35#!oZZ3QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fmedia.photobucket.com%2Fimage%2Fknife%20patterns%2Fcantador4u%2FKnife%20Blade%20Patterns%20and%20Designs%2FbladesoutlinedofAM.gif%3Fo%3D3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Great idea: almost all of the knife suppliers have catalogs that include knife blanks they sell. In addition you can look for knives for sale on the internet and in knfe magazines for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 "Knives and Scabbards" Museum of London has 310 medieval knives drawn to scale with cross section information and information on the metallurgy and hilting of the too. It's a great resource for leather stamping of the various centuries covered too! It includes several friction folders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's a book; so use your favorite book site---I use abebooks.com KNIVES AND SCABBARDS: MEDIEVAL FINDS FROM EXCAVATIONS IN LONDON. (ISBN 10: 0112904408 / ISBN 13: 9780112904403 ) Cowgill, J., de Neergaard, M., and N. Griffiths. This book catalogues, discusses and illustrates over five hundred knives, scabbards, shears and scissors dating from the mid-12th to the mid-15th centuries and found in the City of London, particularly along the waterfront sites, where recovered items can be accurately dated by dendrochronology and coin finds. It is a fundamental work of reference for medieval artefacts and material culture, an essential handbook for excavators all over Britain and much of Europe. JANE COWGILL, MARGRETHE DE NEERGAARDE and NICK GRIFFITHS are former members of the staff of the Museum of London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
