switchjv Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 this is the first time ive done one of these. Ive made the "knapped steel" before so i tried my hand at one of these. the body is made from a chilean hardwood. it has a brass loop hole and domed brass inserts. i hand stitched the leather onto the handle and finished it with some braided leather. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCotton89 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 What is your method for the knapped steel look. I did something similar for my spear head but I like the results of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switchjv Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sorry for the late reply. I forged the point first to a rough shape. Then I used a 1/2" band file belt sander from harbor freight( this is one of the best tools I've purchased from harbor freight). I actually followed the tutorial above to make knapped steel originally. I heat blued it and coated it with beeswax to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
