One Done and W'sIP

[Ted]

The Bowie thingy is for my son Ty. It's done. Blades the Farm King stock. Handle unstained maple.

The gut hook knife is a stainless steel kitchen knife the kids found down in the creek. They brought it home and asked, "Can you make this into a knife?" LOL!
I put a disk for my angle grinder on a tile cutter I have so not to mess with the temper. Handles maple with antler gaurd. Unfinished .May change the handle to antler,since it has a rat tail tang. Not sure yet.

The 2 black ones are the mower blades I annealed with the forge. Top ones going to be half wood half antler.

The "T" handle gut hook thingy is from a 10" cicular saw blabe. Got some more oak with some pretty cool grain for the scales.

Well done Ted.

[Ted]

This is the blade I cut out on the tile cutter. Handles oak with golden oak stain. Guard's antler.

Insted of going through what Welderguy is, I used the angle grinder to cut 1/8" notches halfway through the tang where the pins came through the handle.

Well done Ted.

Nice work...........Me likie the middle knife in the last photo best'est.

Sweet! You did a good job Ted. That was a great idea on the using of the old knife to make a new one.

[Ted]

Guy at work gave me 4- 12" cicular saw blades and 3- 10' ones. So I thought I'd make him one a little out of the ordinary.

Since he's a huge baseball fan I was thinking a bb bat for a handle. And since he's a St Loius fan I thought a cardinal maybe. So I decided to morph the two together!

That's a cool idea, nice work.

[canid]

i really like that Ted.

[Rick]

That's another great job! He should be very happy with that.

[crashdive123]

That came out great. I really like that.

When me BIL came to pick up his deer, he brought me a piece of steel 1/4"x3"x5'. Very rusty, pitted, an springy!
I set it on the end of the kitchen table, and stood in the middle of it and bouced up and down on it! After word it only had a slight bend that stayed. I turned it over bouced a little and it straitened out for the most part!

So a bro of mine was over and really liked Ty's bowie, and asked if I could make him one like that. I told him sure and had him pick out what he wanted for scales. He wanted that Corion crap! God I hate that stuff. Stinks!!!! Then he asked if I could put a ring on it!!!! Well sure!

This is the end result. Used the spingy stuff. The skull was my idea. He hasn't seen it yet. Merry Christmas Bro!

And Merry Christmas, to all who read this, and all who don't!

[Rick]

What a great job! You guys are really talented. If he doesn't like it just let me know.

[Justin Case]
