Johnnyreb338 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good afternoon friends Sorry I've been out for a spell, been dealing with personal demons and other issues, but I have not been totally idle while on my little hiatus. Here are some pics of a few blades I threw together. It's not much but I'm proud of them. Most are made from spring steel, the 1 without bolsters in the first picture is 01 steel. I am a diesel mechanic and work in the shop so I have an endless supply of spring steel. Although I like 01 steel better. Spring steel seems to be a little more forgiving and free. O I also have an also endless supply of bearing steel but I hate working with it and it seems to be a bugger to sharpen. Sorry the pics aren't that great.

Robakyo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Some good looking knives you've got there. I especially like the second one down in the picture of the group of four. It has a nice profile, and seems rugged. Welcome back! Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyreb338 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks guys Robakyo, that blade your referring to was made out of a mudflap hanger off a big truck, the handle was made out of some red cedar I had laying around, the bolsters were nickel silver with copper pins. It was heavy and felt solid in the hand. Just a cool scrap together knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
