antigoth24 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Here is a knife I just finished up and while it has no real connection at all to a "peasant's knife" it was the type of look I was aiming for, utility and beauty through it's utility. I'd love to hear what you all think of it. The blade is forged from 1095 and differentially quenched and measures 4 1/2 inches long. The handle is 5 1/2 inches long and made from smelted copper, leather spacers, desert ironwood, and white oak burl with a copper pin. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the sheath yet but I will update the post when I get around to making it. Thanks for looking.

Cloudspike84 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Very nice; everything about the look of the knife is beautiful. The compass mark is very cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Beautiful, just beautiful. How long do you etch your deferentially hardened steel for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antigoth24 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks guys, Theo, I etch for about 30 seconds pull out and wipe down and repeat about 4-5 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
