One Done and W'sIP

Scored some walnut flooring scraps, so had to make a couple more skinners. I realy wish I'd by some known steel and get far, far, away from mower blades! Maybe one day.... (when I have more money than mower blades). Well anyway, the blades 3/16 thick. The photos don't do the handles justice, the flooring scraps are beeeutious!

Radical skinner there.

You definitely have a style all your own.

Nice work.

That's some very nice work, Ted.

Woo Hoo! Fantasy skinners. Well done Ted.

Nice, I like em'....quite a design.
Thanks for posting.

Those are nice! I really like that look.

Willie

Thanks guys!

I got some tiller blades from my neighbor. He said he wasn't sure if I'd want them, being all bent the way they are. I told him "Sure, I got a forge!!!"

These buggers spark like a file!!! I'll post more pics when it's completed.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Well...not my best work, but I'm happy with the result, considering what it started as. Still need to heat treat, sharpen,and polish her up. The scales are from some mohogany door casing. They'll look much better sanded up and a coat or two of poly on then.

Nothing but fab, Ted, chillaxing up in the concrete jungle.
U was missed!

Girl at work asked if I could make a knife with Harley Davidson on it for her boyfreind for his birthday. Nope, I replied, how about a skull on the pomel instead?

I don't think this is ever going to be put to use as a real knife (at least I hope not) So I didn't heat treat or anything. Just profiled some bed rail, cut some Corion, ( I realy hate Corion) a little caving with the ol dremel, and whallar, a fighting knife with a skull pomell.

Nice work Ted.

great looking knives,keep em coming.

Still have to heat treat, after I try to get the hammer marks out of the blade. Hit it just a little too hard in a couple spots.

10" blade, mower blade (no I didn't drill the holes) 3/16 thick, antler handle a gaurd. 16" overall.
