wolfshieldrx Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Below is my first spike knife/letter opener. I forged it for my Dad for Christmas. He worked for 43 years on the RR before retiring several years ago. I guess he stepped over or past many thousands of these during the time he was working. My great-grand-dad (my Dad's grand-dad) was a blacksmith, among other things. I am using his vise in my shop. I think this is a source of pride for my Dad...I know it is for me. Pleas feel free to comment/critique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Very nice! It has a great shape to it. I like the sheath too. I am sure your dad is going to love it. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming S Forge Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 That's a fine looking knife for your first try. I especially like the fullering from the top view. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
