Charlotte Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I like it a lot! would like to have looked over your shoulder while you were fitting the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenthunderbolt Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Fantastic! I feel that with the grey finished handle, the forge finish works better than with the brown one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I like it a lot. How far into the handle does the tang reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 the tang goes all the way through the handle and is riveted at the end. here you can see somehow the end of the tang. I forgot to take a pic about that detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Matei: You've been teasing us with these stunning upset edges on knife furniture long enough! We'd REALLY like to know how you do it so some of us can add the technique to our mental tool kit.Will you please post a series of progress pictures so we can see how you do this?Thank you.

LibrariaNPC Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm with Frosty; I would love to see how this is done and possibly learn from it. Care to share the details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.w.s. Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I like this just a tad less than I like your take on the blacksmiths knife. Great job!J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neg Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I like it a lot. I'd like to see one with the whole tang done that way for the handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 next time i'll make something similar, i'll take photos. I already made several ones with that upset running down the tang, but I lost the pictures (they are on a hard disk drive of a broken computer, have to recover them). I have another one in progress, I just have to complete the sheath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophite Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 wow. i have never seen anything like it before. that's a beautiful piece of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's a very unique design you can see traces of it in some of your other work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's good when people remembers your other work thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It reminds me of Joe Keeslar's Brute de Forge knives, but has a look all its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 that's not a technique that I invented - I just had to figure how it works and pushed it some little more, maybe (or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikecopXXX Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 beautiful. i'd like to see in-process steps for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) that's not a technique that I invented - I just had to figure how it works and pushed it some little more, maybe (or not)I think you did, hopefully my post was not taken to imply differently. The integrations and flow of the wood into the guard is certainly impressive. Edited September 28, 2015 by Eddie Mullins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
