One Done and W'sIP
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.
-
nice. it looks like you've got a full plate.

Stainless guthook done!
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.

That is a pretty admirable job. Very nice.

Something different
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.
-
-
That's another great job! He should be very happy with that.
-
That came out great. I really like that.

Another, Bowie style
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!
-
What a great job! You guys are really talented. If he doesn't like it just let me know.
-
-
Very nicely done. A trench knife of sorts.
-

-

Toby didn't like the fact I put a skull on a knife and hadn't made him a knife with a skull on it. So I took the handle off the squirrel sheath knife, and made him this.
-
Kinda creepy,, but COOL ! :)
-
kinda looks like its sayin "om nom nom". you guys make me jelous, got all that crafting skill, and i can barely keep my arrows together!!
-
wow
Ted you have done it again all I can say is wow.
-
Before I opened the pic I thought it was cord wrapped. Very strong grain in the handle! My only concern would be not to use it as a chopper. Stress along the handle will run with the grain and might break it depending on the wood you used. Is it Oak? In any case, you did an outstanding job. It's beautiful work and you did great on the skull!
-
Thats cool and very creative.

Bed frame dagger
I'm probly the only parent in the world that said "Really, thats great!", and ment it, when the kids walked in the room and said, "Dad, your going to kill us, we broke your bed!" LOL
I never would have said that though if not for Canids post on bed frames for knife steel. The kids owe you one bro. LOL!
The handels the same wood on skull knife. And yes Rick it's oak. At least 40 year old oak. It's from a 1x6 I found in an attic with 40 year old news papers on it.

Antler Handle Skinner

kewl, I really really like the neo tribal look. I've been wanting to try some bed frame, have a bunch cut up and ready to start hammering.
what's the composition of bed frame? 1065? I wonder if it would make a good spring, probably not enough carbon.
-
-
Thanks randyt and Crash, don't know how much carbon, but it gets hard enough a file won't bite it!
-
great knives with lots of character!
-
-
More good stuff. I like that one.
