November 11, 20169 yr This is the third knife that i have made it is made from a railroad spike and is sharped to cut paper smoothly and i have put bees wax on it as some what of a polish and to stop it from rusting. I would like to know what you guys think and what suggestions that you guys have?
November 14, 20169 yr The fit and finish are pretty good for a 3rd knife. If you drop the tang down a bit after the ricasso area, you can set it up so that your wrap is level with the spine of the blade. That, to my eye at least, would look a bit better. Treat yourself to some nicer material for your next one. I won't jump on the rail spike band-wagon, but it certainly looks like you will make good use of some nicer steel, and I bet you'll like the feel and performance better once you get rid of the heavy spike head at the pommel.
