TJ Smith Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Finished my prototype Harley Chain Knife. It's a san-mai type construction. Has a 15n20 core ,chain on both sides, filled with 1084 powder. Then put in a square tube and sealed. I used a 20 ton air/hyd jack to press the canister into a flat bar. I then ground it into a knife shape . Here is the result. Take Care TJ Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aden Cassidy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 WHOOLY XXXX is that fantastic or what. Do you mean that is a chain form a Harley Davidson used to make the sides of the blade, absolutely amazing pattern and colour there. Hope you are very proud of that knife, I would be.

njanvilman Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I like that the link pattern is still visible. Many knives of this type are over twisted and worked. The original pattern is long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Nice job on that billet and also nice job on the knife. Was that drive chain or primary chain? And if it was a drive chain was it an O ring chain, and how did you deal with the rubber? Cheers, Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Smith Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks for all the good replies. I appreciate them. It was a drive chain. Pre 1970 I think . No o rings. I wouldn't try a chain with o rings. I thank Ariel Salaverria and bruce Bump for a lot of ideas. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Nice job, TJ! I am gonna try this one :) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 To all above...old school timing chains and Harley primary chains have no O rings either. Just a thought for the scrounging smith's out there that love to see stuff rcycled to such a beautiful result. Once again thanks for sharing and great job!

BM454 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Fine looking knife all together. Just wondering where you got your powdered 1084 from? I'd like to try one of those myself. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
