For some reason I’m getting emails saying there’s replies to old threads, like really old. Anybody else or did we resurrect the hot chicks fishing thread??? :naughty:
And I don’t like it :facepalm:Plunges are all screwed up, bevels aren’t even so what to do but destroy it!
Before
After
The trash can chop
Battoning(sp?) through a piece of maple limb with a 3 pound hammer
3/16” brass rod chop
And the brick chop, about 10 hits on it.
The kick is it still...
A buddy at work wanted a small fixed blade for horizontal carry. That’s what I gave him ;) 6 1/4” overall with a 2 1/2” cutting edge.
Buffalo horn scales with copper liners and pins.
Just read this on a forum dedicated to blade smithing and thought some of you would enjoy it. A long read but very well told.
This, the story of Harry Wollhurter - and his famous knife! being a prime example

Oh I did it this time. I knew better but I did it anyway. I’m going to be in serious trouble tomorrow! I drank a whole pot of coffee this afternoon… ain’t no I’m getting to bed at a decent hour tonight! On the plus side I got 3/4 of the garage really clean!
My buddy wanted 3 knives with sheaths, I’d like to figure out something different for the belt loop in the future, leather work just isn’t my thing, but he likes it so I’m not going to sweat it.
My first time going through this. It’s not much fun. I’ve worked for this place for twelve years, it’s a family run company and I was pretty happy here. I could go to the owner if I ever had a problem and knew he’d have my back. So we are going from a family run business with around 600 +/-...
