j.w.s. Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Here's a trio of some blacksmiths knives in 1084 with a little copper accenting them, just wanted to keep it simple. These are heading up to Erie for show there next weekend, wish I could make it but I'm needed in the opposite end of the state those days. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccustomknives Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I like the idea of using the copper wire. I'd like to see it done with copper collars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Simple, but very graceful. I especially like the flow of lines on the top one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halbrust Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Very nice!That copper wire could easily double the value of those to a random person. It went from bent metal to "art" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrin_radd Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Very nice, the contrast is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenthunderbolt Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Could you please post a close up of how you have secured the wire wrap J.W.S. I would like to have a go at borrowing your idea if I may? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neg Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 You don't have to secure it . . . you just wrap it around. The copper is strong enough that it'll stay on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.w.s. Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Essentially just wrapped them and used a small ball peen and a pin punch to bring the ends in tight against the handles.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L. Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Very interesting. Very nice. I especially like the idea of using the copper wire binding. For what it's worth, Well Done. Jim l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
