TheoRockNazz Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 This is a blade that's been in the work for months, finally I am happy to be able to show it off! This concept came to me quite some time ago, and it took me winning Forged In Fire to finally scrounge up to the funds to move forward on. The handle and general blade shape was waterjet cut from 1/2" thick 5160 spring steel, then forged to shape from there. Had to get inventive with some stuff - sanding the twisted areas was a nightmare - ended up leaving bits of forge finish some places because I wanted to allude to it's forged nature. I gently hot blued the handle to protect all the nooks n crannies. Overall I am very happy with this knife; it's sharp as the dickens and light in the hand. Let me know what yall think, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Haha, thank you Thomas. Will, thank you - I'm sure you already knew my aim has always been to do something new, and I think this helps support that goal, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedarghost Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 DNA....I get it! I bet you had a helical of a time on that handle... Very unique design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have to give it to you Theo, this is a masterful creation. I find other knife handles of yours more appealing but this is still a tremendous handle. How does it feel in the hand? Frosty The Lucky.

BlasterJoe Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I like the dreamy love song in the background. Very appropriate. a sandblaster might be helpful with the more intricate handles. Very very cool knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 So I had actually taken it to a sandblasting place after HT... they wouldn't take it because it was oil quenched and even a drop will cause their fancy medium to clot or something. I thought that was some BS, but they did give me some other ideas that sorta worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
