VainEnd84 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Well I've finally done it, I made a knife, it is far from perfect, but I am quite pleased with it, the blade is 3 1/4" and the overall length is 7 1/8". It is made from an over stock tortion spring which I was told was basically 1070 with added chromium. The handle is ipe and leather with 1/4" copper pins. The blade was sanded to 600 then gun blue was applied and sanded back at 1200 to give a slightly darkened appearance to the steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Nice looking paring/utility knife. Probably one of the most useful knife styles around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainEnd84 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 It's funny, originally it was going to be a small camp knife but I was careless while rough grinding and took a bite out of the blade do I had to reprofile it, and I like the shape better now, thanks for the compliments!

Just remember - blademakers don't make mistakes, they just make smaller knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
