My Big Ugly Knife Thing

My latest knife. Made by stock removal.

I started with a 1/4" by 2" leaf spring. I used a angle grinder cut off wheel to cut the tang area and the curve at the point.

Next, a hole lotta sanding on my belt sander.

Add some 1/4" brass pins, and a ton of epoxy...

And you get something that kinda looks like a knife., kinda... Maybe if you squinted at it.




Enjoy, -Andrei

Newbie here.....I like the knife! I've been working on staightened out coil springs myself. I call it my ugly stick...the others are works in progress, all coil springs...and the obligatory RR spike knife. Just havent tried putting a real handle on anything yet...no drill press.

Aren't springs great?

Ryan28801,
Keep on making knives and ugly sticks, but please keep on showing us your work.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I was watching the discovery channel last night. They said the difference between a sword and a knife was kind of a personal interpretation. It depended on how you felt you could fight with it, close or far away.
So, your ugly stick could be a .....? Knife, or sword?
Just kidding! Thanks for the photos!
Be safe!
Ted
