nc_cooter Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Finally had time to try out my new anvil and a new hammer yesterday. Made two blacksmith kinves with leather wrapped handles. The new hammer started life as a 3# drill hammer. Reground to a square face and a cutler's face. I really like the way it moves metal. All comments are welcome and thanks for looking, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice blades. I like making those style knives. Is that a TFS anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks guys. Donnie, thats a 137# Hay Budden made in 1875. If you want a water proof wrapped handle, wrap the handle with 1/4" wide wet rawhide and let it dry throughly. Then carefully saturate the rawhide with super glue. After it's dry, water won't touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCsmith Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 1875? And the face is that shiny and barely chipped? Whoah... Really nice knives man. I like their beautiful simplicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
