Robert Yates Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 For a Blade I am Making for "Boomer" my Brother that just Passed away. Dad is a Retired SSG from the US Army and has made a request of me to make a Knife in Honor of his service in the Military and for him . I am Not ashamed I will Seek help from my fellow Members here to help me with this project, I can carve in Bone very well as well as Fit and Finish. However, I will be seeking help to pull this off to Honor my brother as well my Mom and Dad to make a blade and Sheath worthy of the Honor of my brother's Service in the Military and his Very Young Life. As this project comes together I will let you know more I hope to get things rolling very soon depending on the Help I can get with it . His Unit is going to have a Memorial Stone placed at the unit location here in the next month or so I hope to have it completed before /By then . I have a 1 1/4 Thick X1 1/4 Thick X 8 inch Billet made .(If Needed it will need to be Hammered into a Usable Billet/Blade) Use is Not required. I am looking to make a Bowie style Coffin Handle. So the blade can be engraved with Boomers full name, Military Service Emblem, and Dates If there a few Bladesmiths (Junior smiths, M.S.,Welcome) Leather Sheath Makers, and Engravers that can help me out please post here & /or pm me as to what you can do to help me out . Thank you and Best Regards Sam Gold Smithy = for meteorite pieces ½ in in size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
