October 23, 200718 yr Well, the Arizona heat has finally let off and I'm back to forging! I made this knife for my knife club's annual show raffle. The blade is forged 5160, I left the part above the bevels with a forged finish for a cool look. The handle is ironwood with steel bolsters and brass pins. I also did some vine filework along the spine of the blade which unfortunately lost some of it's intricacy after I polished it up. It cuts very well and I'm happy with the finished piece.
October 25, 200718 yr Very nice work, Julian. I like the contrasting forged vs. ground areas. The fit and finish on the scales are excellent. How much are the raffle tickets?:D
October 25, 200718 yr Man, some of you young fellers are raising the bar mighty high for the rest of us. That is good work. Don
