oldanvilyoungsmith Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Just finished this handforged edc, 1084 blade Natural micarta handle w/ ss pins and red vulcanized liners. Oal -7 3/4" Blade 3 1/2" It has a definite swedge, but as it's forged in and wasn't ground at all, it's harder to make out in photos. (this handle material is to lovely not to get a closeup)....

gearhartironwerks Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice work. I like the idea of making your own handle as well as the blade. Seems fitting. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. Bryan Morgan Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I believe in this context it means "Every Day Carry". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robakyo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Very nice! I like everything about this one. How much work is it to make your own Micarta? I've read an article about making denim micarta, and even went as far as buy some fiberglass resin, but haven't jumped in yet. I suppose it is time to get my feet wet. Your scales look really cool. I really like your leather work too! Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldanvilyoungsmith Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks ya'll, Dodge, Bryan is right, edc does indeed refer to every day carry. Robayko, Making your own micarta isn't too difficult, I've done it before, but while it's a decent material, I'm not greatly fond of it, it's difficult to get a nice finish on it. I got my hands on this scrap industrial micarta at a plant I was working at last year, and I Iike this stuff much more. It's tougher, and fnishes out a lot better. Now I just gotta find where I can get more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
